Alternating strabismus is a visual disturbance in which both eyes are unable to focus on the target at the same time, with one eye in the right position and the other eye deviated. This condition usually occurs in childhood and can have a serious impact on vision development if left untimed**.
Methods of correction for alternating strabismus:
Spectacle correction:Some mild alternating strabismus can be corrected with glasses. This method mainly improves the patient's visual quality by adjusting the prescription and axial orientation of the glasses.
Blindfolding:By covering one eye, the other eye has more opportunity to focus on the target, helping to adjust the coordination of the two eyes. This method can be done at home, but it requires patience and persistence.
Surgery**:For moderate to severe alternating strabismus, surgery** is the most effective means. Surgical methods include medial rectus muscle amputation, lateral rectus muscle transfer, etc., and the specific surgical plan needs to be formulated according to the patient's condition.
Precautions:
Early detection, early **:As soon as you notice signs of alternating strabismus, you should seek medical attention immediately. Early help to improve the effect and reduce the impact on vision development.
Persistence**:Whether it's spectacle correction, eye covering, or surgery**, patients need to be patient and persistent. Only with perseverance can good results be achieved.
Regular review:In the process, it is necessary to go to the hospital for regular re-examination, so as to adjust the plan in time to ensure the best effect.
In addition, in addition to the treatment of alternating strabismus, psychological counseling is also very important. Parents and patients should face the disease positively and maintain an optimistic attitude. Through encouragement, support, etc., help patients reduce psychological pressure and better cooperate**.
