Cockfighting eyes are the pupils in the middle of the eyes that are naturally or artificially close to the middle, looking like two chicken fighting racks, so it is called fighting eyes, also called the opposite eye. The technical term for cockfighting eye is esotropia. Infants and young children in the binocular monovision formation process, it is easy to be affected by external factors, resulting in one eye to focus on the target, the other eye is skewed and can not look at the same target, so strabismus occurs.
First of all, we must first distinguish what causes inversion, common is female smoking, there are some chemicals can also cause, but there are many specific reasons, such as genetics, these can also be, but the exact reason is not very clear. Watching TV in general, is some sideways look, this kind of does not belong to strabismus is not internal strabismus, usually not oblique, a tv when showing, this is often caused by poor vision.
Congenital esotropia, if not treated, has a serious impact on his future visual development and binocular visual function. We need to take different treatments for different reasons. Correction methods include:
1, prior refraction, to see if you need to wear glasses, there is a part of the population, they can achieve the purpose of correction by matching the eyes. This part of the patient is caused by refractive regulation, this kind of surgery is more contraindicated, because he can treat both amblyopia and strabismus through glasses, and the operation is ineffective.
2. In addition, it can also be treated by strabismus correction surgery, which is a more effective correction method for the treatment of internal strabismus.
What to do with four months old baby holes
1. For esotropia caused by congenital factors, due to the great influence on the development of binocular monosopic function, the best treatment is to do surgical correction in the early stage of the development of the baby's visual function at the age of 2. For esotropia that occurs after 2 to 3 years of age, the cause is mostly related to the excessive adjustment of spokes caused by hyperopia, which should be fully refracted by ophthalmologists after dilated pupils, and those with farsightedness wear sufficient glasses, and after insisting on wearing glasses for 3 to 6 months to correct strabismus or partial correction, then perform surgical treatment for the remaining introverts.
2, the baby to three months when the hearing will be very sharp, the eyes are also very flexible, many parents heard that buying some colorful toys hanging on the top of the child's head can make the child become smart, so they bought a lot of colored toys to hang on the baby's head, in fact, these things are easy to cause the baby to appear cockfighting eyes, and want to prevent the baby from fighting eyes, do not hang colored toys on the bed. This can prevent the appearance of baby holes.
3. The baby has congenital problems with abnormal external intraocular muscles, which will lead to the occurrence of cockfighting eyes in infancy. The cause of congenital eye abnormalities is the mother's delivery force when the baby is born, which may cause the baby's intracranial pressure to increase, so that the brain will bleed a little, resulting in extraocular muscles**; then genetic factors induce congenital abnormalities in the baby's eyes.
How parents can tell if their baby has esotropia
It is to take a small flashlight, when a foot away from the child, when looking at this light against the child, his eyes have a reflection on the cornea, both eyes are at the same time in a point of light, both have a point of light in the center of the cornea, that is normal. Some children are on the right eye, big head, small collapse of the nose, it seems that the eye is to the eye, in fact, is false, so when he takes the photo, his eye position is also positive, this is false.
In addition to the undesirable effects of strabismus, strabismus can also affect people's vision, especially children. Long-term strabismus can lead to low vision, the formation of amblyopia, and loss of stereoscopic vision. And because strabismus patients have long-term gaze in one eye, the other eye will cause a decline in repurposed vision or stop developing, and even if the right glasses are worn in the future, the vision cannot reach normal. After finding that the child is strabismus, it should be treated in time.
