How to exercise after strabismus surgery in children

No special exercise is required for normalcy.

First of all, it should be clear why strabismus is simply the majority of acquired strabismus in children, and acquired strabismus is because the vision of both eyes is inconsistent, one is high and the other is low, so long-term eye use leads to strabismus of the eyes.

Strabismus surgery is now a well-established procedure, so the risk of this type of surgery is basically negligible. Of course, there are certain sequelae of any surgery, just the size, such as the appearance of the common strabismus** phenomenon.

Precautions after strabismus.

After surgery, there will be discomfort such as eye soreness, difficulty in eye movement, foreign body sensation in the eye, and some people may feel different degrees of eye pain or difficulty sleeping, the above phenomenon is a normal reaction after surgery, and its severity and length of time vary from person to person, generally 2-5 days can be relieved, do not worry too much.

Ice packs can be applied for 48 hours after surgery to reduce pain and bleeding. Change the dressing the day after the surgery, and after the dressing change, local antimicrobial eye drops and ointment will be dropped. The sutures were removed one week after the operation, and the topical medication was continued until 3-4 weeks after the surgery.

If the child is not properly maintained after strabismus surgery, the child may still have strabismus**, which is due to the failure to fundamentally solve the child's vision problem. The cause of children's strabismus is the lack of vision nutrients, resulting in inconsistent vision between the child's binocular vision, so while considering strabismus surgery, it is necessary to supplement the child's eye vision nutrients as soon as possible, enhance the child's eye nutrition, promote eye development, improve and enhance the child's vision, only the fundamental recovery, the child's strabismus can be well recovered whether it is surgical or non-surgical.

Strabismus surgery is a relatively small operation in eye surgery, basically there is no risk and no difficulty, it is just a surgical way to adjust the length of the extraocular muscles, and does not involve the inside of the eyeball, parents do not need to worry too much.

But I want to remind you that (just to remind that your child should not be the kind I am talking about) children should first find out what causes strabismus, rule out the cause, and then do it after finding out. Because I have seen many children who have mistakenly undergone strabismus surgery due to accommodative esotropia caused by farsightedness, in fact, such children can be adjusted without surgery. Generally, vertical strabismus, exotropia, and non-accommodative esotropia should be operated on as soon as possible, so that children can obtain good stereopsis function as soon as possible.
