Intermittent exotropia is a kind of strabismus between exotropia and common exotropia, which refers to the fact that the visual axis is often separated, initially occurs when looking at a distance, and when looking at a distance, the fusion spread out exceeds the fusion collection amplitude, that is, exotropia occurs, and there is exotropia before intermittent exotropia occurs.

This is to be clear, once diagnosed with intermittent exotropia, it must be through active **, self-healing This statement is not very scientific, the method of intermittent exotropia has conservative ** and surgical methods**, if the symptoms are mild, conservative** can be considered conservative** to alleviate, but if the symptoms are more severe, it is recommended to choose the surgical method**.

Common manifestations of strabismus are:

First, it affects the appearance, and normal human eyes are staring at the same target when they see things. Strabismus patients have one eye staring at the target, and the other eye is off the target, which is very unnatural and will also affect the patient's heart. Therefore, the first obvious harm is the appearance, which affects the patient's psyche.

Second, stereoscopic vision is the ability to judge objects far, near or deep and shallow, just like closing one eye up and down the stairs will feel a deep foot, shallow foot is unstable, although the strabismus patient is looking at things with both eyes at the same time, but the target of seeing is different, going up and down the stairs will appear the same feeling as a normal person closing one eye, which is easy to cause physical injury.

Therefore, if the child's eyes are squinted, then it must be paid attention to.

And how the child's eye strabismus is specific, then it depends on the type of strabismus, and the type of strabismus is different, so the method is also different.

Depending on the type 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.

When you lose concentration, your eyes are slanted. If the angle of strabismus is relatively small and does not need to be **, find a doctor for regular reexamination, if the angle of exotropia is relatively large, surgery is required, and children need to be operated on as soon as possible.

Interstitial exotropia in children usually develops due to exophobia, which can then develop into constant exotropia. For intermittent exotropia, the current ** is mainly based on surgery**. If binocular vision is impaired, it is advisable to have surgery as soon as possible.

It also depends on whether the child cooperates with the examination, if the examination does not cooperate and the results are unreliable, then the operation can be postponed first. Generally, for 10-year-old children, the examination should be able to cooperate.

Intermittent exotropia is an eye condition. If the child is found to have such a disease, the child should be taken to a regular eye hospital for correction and **.

It can be corrected surgically, but if the strabismus is large, it is best to have surgery to improve the appearance. It is possible that surgery may be required in both eyes.

1, -20 degrees of wisdom, the degree is larger, there is no better way to be stupid without surgery.

2. The same orthostatic position as normal people promotes the development of normal stereopsis (random stereopsis (-) indicates that stereopsis is now significantly damaged).

3. No effect on vision.

4. The probability of re-oblique is 10-20%.

5. It can be understood that the surgery is done with muscle coordination.

Peking University Hospital**Dr. Hai solemnly reminds: Because the patient cannot be seen face-to-face and cannot fully understand the condition, the above suggestions are for reference only, and the specific diagnosis and treatment must be carried out in the hospital under the guidance of Dr. Xiangyao! ）

**Children with strabismus and amblyopia must be patient and not in a hurry, after all, they are children, and they will not cooperate so well**. Strabismus** is glasses or surgery**.
