Strabismus generally leads to eye twitching. This is usually a common ophthalmic condition. In the early stages, medication can be used to control intraocular pressure. During acute episodes, timely treatment can prevent vision damage. However, if left untreated for a long period, it may cause severe visual impairment. Laser peripheral iridotomy can be chosen as a treatment option, which is relatively simple and allows for quick recovery, although its long-term effectiveness may be somewhat limited.
