Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My son is 2 years old. He is having crossed eye problem from the birth. Is it curable? If yes, then what is the treatment for this? Also, what is the success rate of the treatment?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

1. Your child's squint problem can be treated in a number of ways and often more than one treatment or a combination of treatments may be needed to get the best result for your child's vision.

2. Your child's squint treatment will be depend on the type of squint. Most of the treatment for squint involves regular visits and examinations at the hospital or eye clinic.

3. The most common ways that squint can be treated are glasses, occlusion therapy, eye exercises, surgery and injections.

4. The outcomes for children with squint are generally very effective if detected and treated early. If it gets detected later than 7 to 8 years, then it is difficult to correct.

5. I would suggest you to consult a good eye surgeon and follow up with him.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I have consulted an ophthalmologist and he said it is an estropia squint.

Hi,

Welcome. Please consult your ophthalmologist in regular interval for follow up and further management.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
