What medications can be used for strabismus? What medications to take to correct it

Medications are usually not recommended for people with strabismus, but in some special cases, medications may be prescribed by a doctor. If strabismus is caused by eye inflammation, anti-inflammatory treatment is required for the underlying condition.

1. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: If the eye inflammation caused by bacterial infection causes strabismus, take amoxicillin capsules and other antibiotic drugs under the guidance of a doctor to control the development of the disease;

2. Glucocorticoids: If the symptoms are severe or accompanied by obvious eye pain, dexamethasone sodium phosphate eye drops can be used for a short time under the guidance of a doctor to relieve discomfort;

3. Mydriatic agents: When double vision occurs, drugs such as tropicamide eye drops can be used to relax the ciliary muscles under the guidance of a doctor, so as to improve the symptoms of blurred vision;

4. Others: For children with congenital esotropia and paralytic exotropia, abnormal eye movements can also be corrected by wearing prisms under the guidance of doctors.

Surgical treatment to correct strabismus may also be considered, including muscle weakening, muscle enhancement, and binocular vision training. After surgery, care should be taken to avoid rubbing the eyes with hands, and pay attention to local cleanliness and hygiene to avoid infection. Good living habits should be developed in daily life, ensure sufficient sleep time, and minimize the phenomenon of staying up late for a long time. The diet is mainly light and easy to digest, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and supplement the nutrients needed by the body, which is conducive to promoting disease recovery.
