Some babies may experience symptoms of strabismus, which is an improper eye position. Depending on the cause of the disease, the direction of the eye deviation can create an outward or inward inclination, which makes parents very worried about affecting their child's appearance and causing adverse psychological effects. So, why does a baby have strabismus?
Firstly, the appearance of strabismus may be due to developmental disorders such as tooth replacement, weaning, and shock, which can affect the fusion system of the child's brain and cause strabismus in the baby. For example, some babies have a serious illness and their parents find that their eyes are slanted, while others fall off the bed, causing their eyes to be slanted.
Secondly, it is due to congenital abnormalities in the position of extraocular muscles, poor separation of ocular muscles, leading to strabismus of the eyes; Some cases are caused by the mother exerting excessive force during childbirth, leading to an increase in the baby's intracranial pressure and the location of cerebral hemorrhage affecting the control of the eyeball, resulting in strabismus.
Furthermore, if someone in the family has this defect of exotropia, it can be inherited by the next generation of children. Usually, if strabismus occurs within 6 months, it is called congenital strabismus, which affects the baby's ability to see objects with both eyes and poses the greatest threat to their visual function.
Finally, if parents discover that their child has exotropia, they should seek medical examination in a timely manner and follow the doctor's advice to cooperate with treatment.
