Strabismus Assessment in Fethiye
Strabismus occurs when the eyes do not align on the same target. Options can range from glasses to surgery, depending on cause, age, and visual development.
Treatment Process
- Onset, frequency, symptoms, and previous treatment are reviewed.
- Vision, refraction, eye movements, and angle of deviation are measured.
- Dilated examination or further neurological assessment is advised when indicated.
- Glasses, patching, prisms, or surgery are considered individually.
Recovery: Recovery and follow-up depend on the chosen treatment. Redness can persist after surgery, and scheduled reviews remain important.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can strabismus resolve by itself?
Persistent or recurring misalignment should be assessed. Early review matters for visual development.
Does every case require surgery?
No. Glasses, patching, or prisms may suit some people; treatment depends on the type of deviation.
Can adults receive treatment?
Yes. Double vision, alignment, function, and individual goals are considered.
Does surgery correct a glasses prescription?
Surgery aims to align the eye muscles. Glasses may still be needed for refractive error.
