Child watching TV with squinting eyes

Many parents do not take the situation of their children watching TV with squinted eyes seriously, and have never thought about correcting their children's sitting posture. This will cause their children to develop strabismus in the long run. After it happens, there is no way to cure it, it can only be alleviated relatively. Therefore, once you find that your child is watching TV with squinted eyes, you must stop it.

1. Concomitant strabismus

1. The eye axes are not parallel, one eye is deviated, and the angle of deviation in each direction is equal.

2. Cover the healthy eye and the eye movement is basically normal.

3. The first squint angle is equal to the second squint angle; there is no diplopia and compensatory head position.

4. Often accompanied by refractive error and amblyopia.

(ii) Non-communicative strabismus (paralytic strabismus)

1. Eye movement is restricted, one or several extraocular muscles are restricted, and the visual axis deviates to the opposite side of the normal direction of action of the paralyzed muscle. The second oblique angle is greater than the first oblique angle.

1. Compensatory head position (ocular torticollis), the compensatory head position disappears if one eye is covered.

2. Diplopia and dizziness may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. The symptoms will disappear by covering one eye.

(1) Educate patients and their families on the knowledge related to restoring normal visual function.

(ii) Guide children with concomitant strabismus to carry out the following treatments and strive to restore normal binocular vision.

1. Actively correct refractive error

(1) Children aged 2 years and above can wear glasses for correction. Instruct the patient and his/her family to fix the glasses on the head with elastic bands, pay attention to safety and prevent accidents.

(2) If the strabismus disappears completely after three months of treatment, continue to wear glasses and treat amblyopia or perform orthoptic training, and check the refraction every six months.

(3) If strabismus still exists after three months, the patient will be treated for amblyopia to balance binocular vision and then receive surgical correction.

2. Treatment of amblyopia: guide patients to undergo amblyopia treatment and pay attention to follow-up observation of the effects.

3. Guide patients to conduct orthoptic training, correct abnormal retinal correspondence, and develop children's simultaneous vision and fusion ability.
