How to treat strabismus in children
Strab vision is one of the common ophthalmic problems in children, manifested in the inability of both eyes to look at the same target at the same time, which may lead to visual development disorders or affect appearance. Recently, treatment of strabismus in children has become a hot topic, and many parents have discussed relevant experiences on social platforms and medical forums. This article will combine the hot topics of the past 10 days to structure the treatment plan for strabismus and provide practical suggestions.
1. Types and symptoms of strabismus
Strab vision can be divided into inward strabismus, exterior strabismus, upward strabismus and downward strabismus, etc. The specific symptoms vary by type. Here is a comparison of common strabismus types:

| Inner strabismus | Eyeball tilts inward | 6 months-3 years old |
| External strabismus | Eyeball tilts outward | 3-10 years old |
| Up/down strabismus | Eyeball tilts upward or downward | Any age |
2. Treatment methods for strabismus
According to recent discussions by medical experts and parents, the treatment of strabismus requires a personalized plan based on the cause and severity. Here are the mainstream treatments:
