Children strabismus symptoms?

summary

Strabismus means that both eyes can't look at a target at the same time. When one eye looks at the target, the other eye will deviate from the target. Tian Xiaobo, director of strabismus and amblyopia expert of Shanghai New Horizon Eye Hospital, said strabismus is mainly divided into esotropia and exotropia. Now let's talk about the children's strabismus symptoms?

Children strabismus symptoms?

1. Commonly known as "oblique white eye", it refers to the outward deviation of eye position, which is divided into intermittent and constant exotropia. Intermittent exotropia patients, most of the time to maintain the normal position of the eye, in the sun, tired, sick, will show exotropia. Intermittent exotropia often develops into constant exotropia.

2. Commonly known as cockeye, it refers to the inward deviation of eye position, which is divided into congenital and acquired esotropia. Congenital esotropia occurs within 12 months of birth. The angle of deviation is usually very large. Acquired esotropia often occurs in 2-3 years old, often accompanied by high hyperopia.

3. Because the eye movement and eye position are controlled by the extraocular muscles, strabismus surgery is to adjust the six extraocular muscles. It does not need to open the eye, and does not involve the optic nerve and intraocular tissue, so it is very safe. Shanghai New Vision hospital has successfully treated nearly ten thousand strabismus patients without any failure since it adopted micro invasive technique.

matters needing attention

Tian Xiaobo, an expert on strabismus and amblyopia, pointed out that the treatment of strabismus requires a very strict time. Before 2 years old is the key period of human visual development, and 3-7 years old is the plastic period of visual development. For strabismus, surgical correction at 6 years old or earlier will lead to normal development of binocular vision. Parents must take it seriously, early detection and early treatment.
