“Treatment of sparism in adults usually begins with the use of glasses or contact lenses to correct vision difficulties that can cause or aggravate the problem. However, when this type of treatment is not enough, the ophthalmologist may recommend doing eye exercises once a week in the hospital, and daily at home, to improve muscle coordination and help better concentrate objects.
In the most severe cases, where it is not possible to correct the hatrabism only with glasses and eye exercises, surgery may be needed to balance the eye muscles and correct misalignment.
Stratoism can be caused by defects in 3 different places
Therefore, hatrabism can occur in children, when the problem is related to the lack of development of one of these places, which usually occurs in cases of Down syndrome or cerebral palsy, for example or in adults, due to problems such as an accident. Cerebral vascular, head trauma or even eye blow.
Strabismus can be of 3 types, divergent strabismus, when the deviation of the eye is outward, that is, to the side of the face, strabismus converges, when the eye deviates into the nose, or vertical strabismus, if the eye moves up or down.
Hatrabism surgery is usually performed in the operating room under general anesthesia, so your doctor can make small cuts to your eye muscles to balance your forces and align your eye.
In most cases, this surgery does not cause scarring and recovery is relatively quick. See when to have surgery for stratiam and what the risks are.
A good exercise that helps coordinate eye muscles and improve strabism is:
This exercise should be repeated for 2 to 3 minutes each day, but the ophthalmologist may also recommend other exercises to complete treatment at home.
When treatment is not done correctly in childhood, the person may develop amblyopia, which is a vision problem where the affected eye usually sees less than the other eye, because the brain creates a mechanism to ignore the different image that passes through that eye.
Therefore, treatment should be initiated in the baby immediately after diagnosis of the problem, placing an eye mask on the healthy eye, to force the brain to use only the misaligned eye and develop the muscles on that side. Learn more about treating child broomstick.
