How to correct the child's crossed eyes?

Cross-eyes are also called cross-eyes. If parents find that their children have cross-eyes, they do not need to worry too much as long as it does not occur frequently. Some children will have true cross-eyes, and they should be corrected in time. If it is not corrected in time, it will have a negative impact on the child's psychology. Therefore, children should be corrected in time. Let us learn about this aspect.

How to correct the child's crossed eyes?

As the child grows, the bridge of the nose becomes higher and the epicanthus will gradually disappear. By 5 to 6 months, the binocular gaze function is fully developed, and by 6 to 7 months, the eye movement becomes bilateral and coordinated. If the eye deviates at this time, you should suspect the possibility of strabismus and go to the hospital for further examination.

Cross-eye must be treated early, otherwise amblyopia is likely to occur, which will affect the child's stereoscopic vision. Children with cross-eyes only see things with one eye, so they have no sense of three-dimensionality and cannot distinguish the distance of objects. For example, when doing needlework, the thread cannot be threaded through the eye of the needle; when filling ink, the pen cannot be inserted into the ink bottle; small objects can never be reached, etc., which affects future work and study.

If you suspect your baby is cross-eyed, you should pay attention to the following when seeking medical attention:

1. Before seeing a doctor: When it is discovered that the baby may have esotropia and needs medical treatment, it is recommended that parents help the baby prepare mentally before taking him to the doctor, and let the baby know that the doctor is friendly and will not let the baby get injections or take medicine.

2. On the day of consultation: The baby's health should be in good condition, and he should not be sick or in a bad mood. Please also reserve more time so that the baby has enough time to cooperate with the doctor.

3. During treatment: After confirming the diagnosis, parents should cooperate with the doctor's treatment with the right attitude. The younger the baby is, the more plastic his visual development is. The correction of strabismus, in addition to the requirements of eye position, is also related to the visual development of the left and right eyes and the more advanced binocular vision, that is, the establishment of three-dimensional perception. Don't ignore it because you think your baby is still young or that it only affects the appearance.
