Strabismus Treatment
Strabismus treatment can occur through multiple methods. With the advancing technology of today, it has become much easier to overcome this condition. As the BatıGöz Health Group, we perform strabismus treatment at all our branches.
Strabismus is a clinical condition where both eyes cannot focus on an object simultaneously and/or there is a lack of coordinated movement of the eyes. Treatment is a long journey we embark on with our child and their family. By starting early treatment with early diagnosis, we make significant progress with strabismus.
As a result, by the time our child reaches primary school age, their levels of vision, depth perception, and the parallelism of their eyes can be similar to their peers.

Treatment Methods for Strabismus
The goals of strabismus treatment include improving visual acuity, developing depth perception, correcting any abnormal head positions and double vision if present, ensuring free eye movements if possible, and addressing cosmetic complaints. The form of treatment is determined by evaluating the patient's examination findings and complaints together.
Strabismus treatment methods are categorized into two main headings: non-surgical and surgical methods.
- Non-surgical methods include addressing the need for glasses, using prisms, orthoptic treatment, and Botulinum toxin A application as an alternative or for testing purposes.
- Surgical methods involve reestablishing the balance that disrupts the parallelism of the eyes by intervening with the muscles that control eye movement.
Strabismus Examination
The most important aspect of the strabismus examination is obtaining a detailed history. For age groups where visual acuity can be measured, assessing visual acuity, conducting a glasses examination, and thoroughly examining the anterior and posterior segments of the eye are integral parts of the strabismus examination.
Since strabismus can be a symptom of life-threatening eye tumors such as an intracranial tumor or retinoblastoma, a fundus examination can be life-saving.
The handheld autorefractometer and electronic retinoscope used in children's eye clinics, known as 'spot vision,' provide significant convenience in revealing children's need for glasses in just a few minutes. Additionally, the 'spot vision' device examines the focusing ability of each eye separately and provides insights into the angle of deviation in the eyes.
