What should I do if one eye is squinting

Strabismus in one eye actually troubles many people, so of course we should pay attention to understanding the methods to improve and solve it. In addition to some adjustments in life, surgical treatment is also necessary.

1. Strabismus refers to the misalignment of the visual axes of the two eyes, which may be biased inward, outward, upward or downward. A normal person's two eyes should see things straight and parallel. When looking at an object, the image of the object falls on the fovea of ​​the retina of both eyes respectively. Then, through the brain's image fusion ability, the images seen by the two eyes are combined into one.

2. Because of the misaligned eyes of strabismus patients, when they focus on an object, the image of the object falls on the fovea of ​​the retina in the normal eye, but outside the fovea in the strabismus eye. This causes double vision. The image of one eye is suppressed, and the single vision function and stereoscopic sense of both eyes are lost. Some patients may also suffer from poor visual development and cause amblyopia. Therefore, strabismus is not only an aesthetic problem, but more importantly, if not treated in time, it will often cause irreparable visual dysfunction and amblyopia.

3. Surgical treatment is to adjust the strength of the external eye muscles and the position of the attachment points through surgery to make the eye position return to normal. Congenital esotropia and strabismus usually require surgical treatment. Non-accommodative and large strabismus also usually needs to be corrected by surgery.

4. Non-surgical treatment: Not all strabismus require surgical treatment. If it is accommodative esotropia, it can be corrected by wearing appropriate hyperopia glasses or bifocals.

5. If there is moderate or high refractive error, glasses are often needed for correction. In addition, axial correction training can be used to help restore binocular single vision and increase image fusion ability. For example, training with a visual axis correction training machine, or wearing prism lenses, etc. If there is also amblyopia, amblyopia training is also an indispensable treatment.
