When is the best time for surgical treatment of strabismus in children, and what should I do if I mi

The optimal time for surgery is 2 to 8 years old, and if it exceeds this time, it can also be surgical**, but it may be more complicated than before**. Nowadays, there are many children who will have strabismus after birth, if parents find out that their children have such a situation, they must go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, because if they squint, it is likely to cause great damage to the child's eyes, and when you grow up, you will find that it will affect the aesthetics.

If the child strabismus is detected early, it is possible to correct the vision by wearing glasses, if it is found that wearing glasses can not be completely corrected after a long time, it can only be done through surgery, but the operation is not too big, now the technology is very developed, this kind of surgery is still very simple, after the operation, not only can restore the eyesight, but also change the child's appearance, so that the child becomes more beautiful. However, it should be noted that the drug** does not have any effect, and the surgery must be carried out in time**.

Eyes are the windows of our souls, and eyes are very important to a person, if a person's eyes are broken. It will bring great inconvenience to your own life. After the child's surgery, we must also urge the child to protect his eyes well, and usually give him more vegetables and fruits, because these things are rich in vitamins, which can add a lot of energy and nutrients to the eyes, so that our eyes are healthier.

And we must control the time that children look at mobile phones, play with computers and watch TV together, because if you look at these things for a long time, it will cause a certain amount of radiation to the eyes, which will damage our eyesight, and even have a great impact on future life.

And be sure to let the child develop good habits, set aside a fixed time every day to do eye exercises for themselves, in order to protect the eyes, and be sure to regularly drop some eye drops and the like to keep the eyes moist, only in this way can the eyes be brighter and healthier.

The younger the age of strabismus**, the better the clinical effect**. Strabismus surgery is not only to correct the eye position and improve the appearance, but more importantly, to establish and improve the binocular vision function without affecting the visual development of the brain. Because when a normal person looks at something, the eyeball turns inward at the same time to point at an object, but a child with strabismus has one eye looking at the object in front of him, and the other eye is not facing the object outward.

We use the method of surgery to pull the child's squint eye over, and then the child's two eyes are almost the same as normal, so that he has the opportunity to see one thing at the same time, so as not to affect the development of brain visual function. Because the development of the brain's visual function also has a time period, most of them are fully developed before the age of 5, 5-8 years old can still grow a part, 8-12 years old may be a little longer, and more than 12 years old is quite difficult. Normally, exotropia is operated on before the age of 8, but on the basis of the age of 5, and there are some special types of the esotropia that require surgery before the age of 2.

In adulthood, even if you want to **, that is, to improve the eye position from the appearance, the visual impairment that has been caused cannot be recovered.

Generally, the main development time of pediatric strabismus should be about 3 to 6 years old, and it should be carried out as soon as it is discovered, so that it is the best. It is the best time to miss this time, and it can also be done in other ways**, you need to go to the hospital for examination, because every child's condition is different.

The best time for pediatric strabismus surgery** should be within three years of age, so that the impact on the child will not be too great, and the postoperative recovery is relatively fast, if you miss it, you can also have surgery**, but relatively speaking, the recovery time may be longer.

There are many types of strabismus in children, and there are more, if it is congenital strabismus, it may be found when the child is 6 months old, and early amblyopia can be carried out**. For other types of strabismus, it is best to do it before the child is three years old, so that the child does not grow up to be more difficult to operate.

Some parents find that their child has some strabismus after giving birth, and they will want to take their child to the eye hospital for surgery. For children with strabismus, the best time for surgery is usually around 6 years old. Especially if the child is less than half a year old, parents observe that the child's eyes have strabismus, and they need to take the child to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible.

Children under the age of half a year need to wait until the child is about two years old to have strabismus surgery early.

For pregnant women in life, after giving birth to a child, they will find that the child's eyes always look in one direction, and as a parent, you must realize that the problem of strabismus in the child is not all caused by genetics. Generally, due to the influence of the child in the womb, the child's eye development is different from that of a normal child. When parents see that their children have strabismus problems, they need to take their children to the hospital for corrective surgery as soon as possible, so as not to want to correct the child when the child grows older, and it is too late.

If the child grows up to be half a year old, parents have already observed that the child's eyes are squinting, and they need to wait until the child is about two years old. Take the child to the hospital for correction, because the child has strabismus and the sooner the child is found, the sooner it will not affect the child's vision development. In particular, some parents do not think so, thinking that the child's eye development will slowly get better when they grow up.

However, I did not think that the problem of strabismus would become more and more serious as the child grows older.

In view of the problem of strabismus in children, early detection and early ** is the most beneficial for children. If parents miss the optimal age of their children, waiting until the child is older to have strabismus surgery will directly increase the risk of surgery. Parents should be aware that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and if the child does not have a good vision, it will have a serious impact on the child's future life and learning.

The best time for surgery is when your child is between 8 and 15 years old. At this time, timely progress** can be of great help and recovery to the child's vision.

Depending on the type of strabismus, the age of the strabismus surgery is also different. If it is a relatively large congenital strabismus, the esotropia of infants and young children, because his strabismus is very large, the impact on the child's binocular vision is very large, and even affects the development of the vision of the eye that has been deviated for a long time. Therefore, children like this are generally operated on as soon as possible, and generally speaking, they may be able to have surgery at about one or two years old.

If it is intermittent exotropia, it occurs occasionally, sometimes it is normal, and sometimes it occurs when it is inattentive or tired, then it depends on the size of his strabismus and the time he occupies every day, the frequency of the attack, and the degree of influence on his binocular vision. Most children are advised to have surgery at the age of 4 to 6 years old, which is relatively safe.

The best time to have surgery is within a month of the diagnosis of the condition, which is the time when the surgery should be done as soon as possible.

Children with strabismus can go to a specialized eye hospital or a tertiary hospital with better ophthalmology.

The type of strabismus in children should be determined first, and because of the different types of strabismus, it can generally be divided into surgical and non-surgical methods.

1) The surgical method is to adjust the strength of the external eye muscle and the position of the attachment point by surgical means, so that the eye position tends to be normal.

Congenital esotropia (cross-eyed) and upper and lower strabismus usually require surgery**, and non-accommodative and oblique strabismus usually need to be corrected by surgery.

2) Non-surgical method: Not all strabismus requires surgery**, if it is accommodative esotropia, it can be corrected as long as appropriate farsighted glasses or bifocals are worn. If there is also a refractive abnormality of medium to high intensity, it is often necessary to wear glasses to correct it, and axial correction training can be used to help restore monovision and increase the fusion ability of both eyes.

If amblyopia is also present, amblyopia training is also indispensable**.

Strabismus caused by refractive error is recommended to take medication in time to correct the refractive error. It is recommended to take two sachets of Leyan Vision Nutrients every day, and if you insist on taking it for a period of time, the refractive error will gradually be corrected, and the strabismus will gradually improve or even recover.

Children are obliquely regarded as early as possible.

Some children's eyes are tilted inward when looking at objects, as if they are together, commonly known as eye pairing, which is medically called esotropia. Some children have outward deviation of the eyeball when they see things, which is medically called exotropia.

There are two types of strabismus, one is called common strabismus, that is, when the child looks straight forward, one eye is in a normal position, and the other eye is inward or outward, and the eyes move freely in all directions. The other type is called paralytic strabismus, which is caused by ophthalmoplegia, often accompanied by diplopia (seeing things in pairs, dizziness) and other symptoms. Most pediatric strabismus is a common strabismus.

There are two types of common strabismus: esotropia and exotropia, esotropia is mostly caused by farsightedness, while some exotropia may be related to myopia. Common strabismus usually occurs before the age of six, but is more common in children around the age of three.

The eye axis of infants and young children is relatively short, so there is some farsightedness and void leakage in infancy. As I get older, it gradually becomes confronted. Mild hyperopia in infants and young children can be said to be a normal physiological phenomenon in development.

Some children have a relatively large degree of farsightedness, and they are not clear about seeing far or near objects. When looking at distant and near objects, the eyes must strengthen the adjustment in order to see clearly, so it also increases the effect of the two eyes gathering inward, and over time, it can cause esotropia.

At the beginning of strabismus, it is mostly intermittent. , gradually changing to constant strabismus. Strabismus begins with diplopia, but it cannot be expressed because of the young age of the child.

In order to eliminate this distraction, over time, the image seen by the slanted eye is inhibited by the brain, and only the non-slanted eye can see things. At this time, if it is not timely**, the vision of the strabismus eye will gradually decrease, resulting in amblyopia. If amblyopia is not active**, even if strabismus is corrected by surgery, it can only solve the aesthetic problem and cannot obtain function**.

For example, children with amblyopia do not have a sense of three-dimensionality, so many delicate tasks cannot be done.

When a child is found to have strabismus, he should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, and do a refraction of the pupil, according to different situations, some need to wear glasses to correct, and some need to be surgically corrected. If children with esotropia have farsightedness, if they can be fitted with glasses as soon as possible and insist on wearing glasses, they can not only correct their vision, but also achieve the goal of esotropia. Children should wear glasses for orthodontic treatment, and should still have regular optometry reexaminations every year, and change appropriate glasses with the child's development.

Generally, children between the ages of two and a half and three years can be optometry and glasses. If you can't wear bad glasses due to your young age, in order to prevent amblyopia, you can take ** measures according to the situation under the guidance of a doctor.

Some parents think that it doesn't matter if their children's eyes are a little slanted, and they won't slant when they grow up, or they think that their children are too young and troublesome to wear glasses, so it is better to wait until they grow up to do surgery and correction. This idea is wrong, because strabismus is not only for aesthetics, but more importantly, for maintaining the normal function of vision, parents must pay attention to it. Once a child has strabismus, he should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible and stick to it**.

With the continuous development of society and economic progress, electronic products appear more and more times in our lives, and these electronic products are constantly being updated. Some of their performance is also very good, so many parents will let their children do some learning on electronic devices or go to a course. But if you say something like this, it is very likely to cause damage to your child's eyes, so today we are going to talk about what do children need to pay attention to if they want to have strabismus surgery?

Understand your child's physical conditionBefore the child has surgery, parents should do some preparations, that is, we need to determine some of their child's physical condition. And to confirm whether their age is appropriate, then there is generally no age limit for children like this when they have strabismus surgery. As long as the child meets the criteria for surgery, it is possible to have surgery and the impact of surgery is not too great.

However, if the child is really young, it is recommended that parents postpone the surgery. Because the child is too young, it is actually a special test of the doctor's skills. And when doing this surgery, the child needs to have a high degree of cooperation, so parents need to think about it.

Whether there is a past medical history, and then parents need to consider whether their child has some past medical history, or if they have such a past medical history in their own family. Because some children start to have such sequelae in their mother's womb, they should be aware of it in advance at the time of surgery. Whether such a child has any serious diseases, we can't easily make such a problem, because sometimes this kind of surgery has a very big impact on our body.

If we don't have a good understanding of it, there is a good chance that not only will we not be able to do a good job of the child, but it will also cause very serious damage to other aspects of our child's body.

Check their visual function and check your child's visual function before the surgery, as there is a need for certain tests before the surgery. The visual function is also checked to ensure that the child's vision is normal before the operation, so that the success rate of the operation can be guaranteed. And the follow-up preparation will be very simple, and doing such a complete examination can also eliminate the interference of other factors.
