Child looks at things with squinting eyes

If a child looks at things with squinting eyes, parents must pay attention to this, because if this situation is not properly corrected, it is likely that the child will develop squinting eyes when he grows up. There are many reasons for children to have squinting eyes, which may be related to problems with the control of the eye nerves. Of course, it may also be related to congenital factors. According to the characteristics of the child's development, correction in the early stages can generally achieve relatively good correction effects.

Child looks at things with squinting eyes

1. Problems with eyeball nerve control

When there is a problem with the central nervous system control, vision often cannot be adjusted, which causes problems with the eyes, leading to various strabismus problems and affecting vision.

2. Caused by congenital reasons

This type of strabismus is mostly caused by congenital impact on the development of the extraocular muscles. It is caused by the existence of such conditions in the parents. Therefore, if a child has strabismus, parents should pay attention to it at an early stage and communicate closely with experts during pregnancy.

3. Imperfect Development

Because binocular single vision function is not fully developed in childhood, the extraocular muscles cannot be coordinated well, which promotes the onset of strabismus. People's monocular vision function develops gradually after birth and requires repeated exposure to clear external objects in order to gradually develop and mature.

4. The characteristics of eyeball development make children susceptible to strabismus

Because children have small eyeballs, short eye axes, and are mostly farsighted, they need more accommodative force to see objects clearly. The eyes turn inward forcefully, resulting in excessive convergence, which leads to esotropia. This type of esotropia is called accommodative esotropia.

5. Hyperopia

Such children need more accommodation power to see objects clearly, and their eyes turn inward forcefully, resulting in excessive convergence, which in turn leads to esotropia, which is called accommodative esotropia.

6. Genetic factors

Strabismus is not inherited in all family members. This defect is often indirectly passed on to the next generation of children. Generally, strabismus that occurs within 6 months after birth is called congenital strabismus. It does not have the basic conditions for establishing binocular vision and has the greatest harm to the development of visual function.
