The right eye squinted, did not think it was a disease, and Grandma Shen had not paid attention to it. Lately she often feels dry eyes and blurry vision. On March 26, Grandma Shen went to Wuhan Egger Eye Hospital for strabismus surgery, and finally could "face" the world.
The 80-year-old Shen mother-in-law has long found that her eyes have the problem of external obliqueness, and as she grows older, the degree of outward obliqueness of her right eyeball becomes more and more obvious. But because it did not affect her daily life and did not have any discomfort, she did not pay attention to it. On March 25, Grandma Shen developed symptoms of dry eyes and blurred vision. So she immediately went to the hospital for examination, and the doctor found that the external oblique problem of Shen's mother-in-law was more obvious after the examination. Considering that the mother-in-law is 80 years old, after communication, Strabismus worked with Dr. Peng Yi of the Pediatric Ophthalmology Department and the anesthesia team to formulate a thorough surgical plan.
Preoperative examination
On March 26, the hospital performed a minimally invasive and traceless operation for Grandma Shen, which lasted 20 minutes.
"The postoperative effect is very obvious, from the eye position outward to the eye position." Attending doctor Peng Yi introduced.
Postoperative examination
The day after the operation, the doctor checked the room, and it was obvious that Grandma Shen's postoperative recovery effect was very good and she could already be discharged from the hospital.
Dr Peng said strabismus is not a patent for children, and adult strabismus accounts for a large proportion of the total number of strabismus in mainland China. "Many people think that adult strabismus is not necessary for treatment, which is actually a misunderstanding." He said that from the perspective of improving appearance, enhancing social communication skills and improving quality of life, adult strabismus should also be operated on. Some adults experience strabismus at a later age, and stereoscopic vision can be restored despite the larger degree of strabismus surgery.
"Strabismus is still treated as soon as possible, the better!" 0 to 6 years old is a critical period for children's eye development, timely surgery on children with strabismus will not affect the normal development of future and the visual function of both eyes. Peng Yi reminded that once the child is found to have crooked head, squinting eyes, etc., it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible and grasp the appropriate treatment time.
