Can strabismus with refractive errors be treated with surgery?
Disease description:
Others have mentioned that my child has a slight squint in one eye. After a hospital examination, the doctor said it was caused by refractive error. May I ask if strabismus due to refractive error can be treated with surgery?

Strabismus associated with refractive errors can usually be treated surgically. If the angle of strabismus is small and can be corrected with glasses, surgery is not necessary. However, if the angle is large and cannot be corrected with glasses, surgical intervention is required. For strabismus caused by refractive errors, the angle should be thoroughly assessed using prisms, and an appropriate treatment plan should be determined based on the individual patient's condition. Additionally, patients should pay attention to correcting不良 eye habits in daily life.
