My baby has mild esotropia—how can it be corrected?
This condition is usually physiological and does not require complex treatment. Generally, attention should be paid to ocular hygiene; avoid letting the baby stare at a single point for prolonged periods. Daily eye-rolling exercises are also recommended to strengthen the extraocular muscles and promote coordination of the ocular nerves. With consistent practice over time, the infant’s esotropia can be effectively corrected.
