Can cross-eyed people undergo surgery? Don’t miss the best time for treatment.

Cross-eyedness is what we often call strabismus, which seriously affects the development of children's visual function and physical and mental health. Therefore, strabismus should be treated as early as possible. At present, except for fully accommodative esotropia which can be completely corrected by wearing glasses, other types of strabismus require minimally invasive strabismus surgery for correction. The golden period for strabismus treatment depends on the type of strabismus, the condition of both eyes and the time of onset.

Strabismus is a disease that not only harms visual function but also affects appearance. For a long time, it has not received due attention, causing many cases that could have been discovered and corrected early to miss the best treatment period. Some people even have strabismus for life, leaving unnecessary regrets in their only life. Strabismus seriously affects the development of children's visual function and physical and mental health. Therefore, strabismus should be treated as early as possible. Strabismus and amblyopia are closely related in children. Monocular deviation can cause amblyopia in that eye, and amblyopia can cause strabismus. For children with amblyopia, amblyopia should be actively treated first before surgery, and then the appropriate time should be chosen to perform early surgery to correct the strabismus.

Don't miss the golden period for strabismus treatment

At present, except for fully accommodative esotropia which can be completely corrected by wearing glasses, other types of strabismus require minimally invasive strabismus surgery for correction. The golden period for strabismus treatment depends on the type of strabismus, the condition of both eyes and the time of onset.

① Congenital strabismus requires surgery as early as possible. Surgery within 24 months after birth is best for establishing binocular vision function.

② For monocular esotropia or strabismus accompanied by amblyopia, treat the amblyopia first and then perform surgery after the vision of both eyes is balanced.

③ For children with small-degree strabismus, intermittent strabismus, or strabismus with unstable angles, closely observe the pattern of change before deciding on surgery.

④ For strabismus that occurs after the age of 2, surgery should be performed between the ages of 3 and 6.

Experts say that minimally invasive strabismus surgery requires delicacy and precision, but it is not a major operation. The specific situation depends on the strabismus condition, the eye being operated on, and the number of muscles requiring surgery. Therefore, going to the hospital for examination and confirmation, a clear diagnosis is the prerequisite for treatment. After a clear diagnosis, the doctor will develop a treatment plan suitable for the condition.
