What if one eye squints? Can it be cured?

Strabismus can generally be divided into esotropia, exotropia and strabismus. (1) esotropia: commonly known as cross-eyed. The eye position is shifted inward. Clinically, it can be divided into congenital and acquired strabismus. Congenital esotropia exists from birth to birth. The deflection angle is usually large. Acquired esotropia can be divided into accommodation and non-accommodation. Accommodative esotropia often occurs at the age of 2-3 years, usually accompanied by moderate or high hyperopia, or abnormal accommodation cohesion and accommodation ratio; Non-accommodative esotropia has nothing to do with accommodation and refractive state. (2) exotropia: that is, the deviation of eye position, which can be generally divided into intermittent and persistent exotropia. Intermittent exotropia is due to the patient's good image fusion ability. Most of the time, the eye position can be maintained in a normal position by image fusion ability, and exotropia will only appear occasionally in the sun or when you are tired and careless. Some children often close one eye in the sun to avoid diplopia caused by exotropia. Intermittent exotropia often develops into persistent exotropia, while occasional exotropia becomes persistent exotropia. (3) Up-down strabismus: that is, the eye position inclines upward or downward, which is generally rare. Strabismus is often accompanied by head tilt. The treatment of strabismus varies according to the type of strabismus, which can generally be divided into surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment. (1) surgical treatment is to adjust the strength of the external eye muscle and the position of the attachment point by surgery, so that the eye position tends to be normal. Congenital esotropia and up-and-down strabismus mostly need surgical treatment, and unadjusted strabismus with large inclination usually needs surgical correction. (2) Non-surgical treatment: Not all strabismus needs surgical treatment. If it is accommodative esotropia, it can be corrected by wearing appropriate hyperopia glasses or binoculars. If you have moderate or high ametropia, you often need glasses to correct it. In addition, axial alignment training can help the recovery of monocular vision and increase the ability of image fusion. For example, training with a visual axis correction training machine, or wearing prism lenses. If there is amblyopia, amblyopia training is also an essential treatment.
