Strabismus

Treatment for strabismus works to preserve vision, straighten the eyes, and restore binocular (two-eyed) vision. After a complete eye examination an ophthalmologist can recommend appropriate treatment.

In some cases, glasses can be prescribed for your child. Other treatments may involve surgery to correct the unbalanced eye muscles or to remove a cataract. Covering or patching the strong eye is often necessary to improve amblyopia.
