Regular smoking in adolescents does not lead to the occurrence of strabismus?

The jury is still out on whether long-term smoking in adolescents can lead to strabismus. However, studies have shown that the harmful substances in tobacco smoke may have adverse effects on eye tissues.

Cigarettes contain a variety of toxic chemicals such as nicotine, carbon monoxide, and tar, among others. These substances can enter the bloodstream and be absorbed through the lungs into the circulatory system throughout the body. Prolonged inhalation of these toxic substances can lead to vasoconstriction and an inadequate supply of oxygen, which can impair the function of the eye tissues.

Tobacco smoke also contains a lot of free radicals and other oxidants.These substances may damage cell membranes and protein structures, which in turn can damage eye muscles and nerve fibers, leading to impaired vision or strabismus.

Some studies have also found that people who are exposed to secondhand smoke for a long time are more likely to have problems such as strabismus. This is because secondhand smoke also contains many harmful substances that can cause harm to human health.

Although there is no direct evidence that long-term smoking in adolescents causes strabismus, the harmful substances in tobacco smoke may negatively affect multiple organs in the body, including the eyes. Teenagers are advised to avoid smoking as much as possible and maintain good lifestyle habits to maintain good health. If you already have strabismus or other vision problems, seek medical attention and professional treatment.
