Strabismus: Treatment

 
Medical Encyclopedia: Strabismus: Treatment

Preserving or restoring vision and improving appearance may involve one or more of the following:

  • glasses to aid in focusing and straighten the eye(s)
  • patching to force infants and young children to use and straighten the weaker eye
  • eye drops or ointments as a substitute for patching or glasses, or to make glasses more effective
  • surgery to tighten, relax, or reposition eye muscles
  • medication injected into an overactive eye muscle to allow the opposite muscle to straighten the eye
  • vision training (also called eye exercises)

— Maureen Haggerty
