What is Strabismus treatment?

Treatment for strabismus is similar to Amblyopia treatment: vision therapy including patching or visual exercises, glasses with the correct prescription or bifocal or prism correction to aid in proper focusing, eye-drops to help focus, or surgery. Surgery will correct the misaligned eyes but cannot resolve Amblyopia caused by strabismus. Before scheduling a child for surgery, the doctor might inject the ocular muscles with Botox (botulinum), which temporarily relaxes the muscles. In some cases, strabismus is permanently corrected in this way.
