Will strabismus worsen if it is not treated?
Strabismus, if not treated, can potentially deteriorate over time. Strabismus is a common ocular disease, often caused by congenital developmental anomalies or external injuries to the eye, leading to misaligned visual axes. It can affect the appearance of the patient and may lead to complications such as amblyopia, as well as symptoms like double vision. Currently, surgery is the primary treatment method. The operation adjusts the position of the eye muscles' attachments and alters the tension of the eye muscles, thereby restoring the normal positional relationship between the eyes and aligning their visual axes. Patients need to visit the ophthalmology department of a hospital for an in-person examination and undergo comprehensive strabismus testing to determine the specific surgical plan. Without treatment, the degree of strabismus may continue to increase, leading to a worsening of symptoms.
