Strabismus treatment

Strabismus treatment

Who strabismus treatment is for

Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes do not point at the same spot at the same time. Binocular (3D) vision is impaired: distance and depth are harder to judge.

  • Eye deviation — Strabismus treatment

    Eye deviation:

    outwards (exotropia), inwards (esotropia), upwards or downwards; constant or intermittent.

  • Causes in children — Strabismus treatment

    Causes in children:

    refractive errors, impaired binocular vision, congenital abnormalities of the eye muscles, neurological disorders, genetic syndromes.

  • Amblyopia — Strabismus treatment

    Amblyopia:

    the child’s brain suppresses the image from the deviating eye: there is no double vision, but amblyopia develops.

  • Sudden strabismus in adults — Strabismus treatment

    Sudden strabismus in adults:

    an acquired cause must always be looked for: nerve palsies, stroke, orbital trauma and others.

  • Double vision — Strabismus treatment

    Double vision:

    an adult’s brain cannot “switch off” the second image: “I see two objects instead of one”.

  • Impaired 3D vision — Strabismus treatment

    Impaired 3D vision:

    the person finds it harder to judge the distance, depth and position of objects; the deviation may be constant or intermittent.

  • Accommodative esotropia — Strabismus treatment

    Accommodative esotropia:

    significant hyperopia in a child can lead to accommodative esotropia.

  • Causes in adults — Strabismus treatment

    Causes in adults:

    cranial nerve palsies, stroke, tumours, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia, thyroid eye disease.

  • Injuries and changes to the eye — Strabismus treatment

    Injuries and changes to the eye:

    orbital trauma or fracture, significant loss of vision in one eye, post-operative and scarring changes.

Advantages of treatment at SHÉVCHYK Vision Space

Diagnostics before decisions

An examination should give the doctor the information needed to make a diagnosis and choose further treatment. So the number of tests in itself is not a measure of the quality of diagnostics.

Technology as the doctor’s tool

Modern equipment helps obtain precise data, plan treatment and monitor its results. But technology works together with the specialist’s clinical experience, not instead of it.

From diagnostics to recovery

Consultation, the necessary diagnostics, treatment and result control form a consistent patient pathway.

An honest conversation about treatment options

We explain not only the advantages of the recommended method, but also its limitations and possible alternatives.

Treatment methods

Glasses

For hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism, anisometropia and accommodative esotropia.

Prism correction

For small angles, double vision, and some forms of paretic and post-operative strabismus. A prism compensates for the deviation but does not remove its cause.

Eye muscle surgery

If other methods do not straighten the eyes. Recession weakens the action of a muscle, resection strengthens it; surgery on several muscles and transpositions are possible.

When surgery
is postponed

Health condition

  • Acute eye inflammation (conjunctivitis, keratitis, blepharitis, uveitis during a flare-up).
  • Severe uncompensated diseases (decompensated diabetes mellitus, serious heart, kidney or liver conditions).
  • Cancer and decompensated blood clotting disorders.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  • Acute respiratory viral infections, flu or other acute infections — until full recovery.
  • Exacerbation of chronic diseases — the condition is stabilised first.

When surgery is not needed

  • In accommodative strabismus, if the position of the eyes is fully corrected with glasses or contact lenses.

  • Patient
    Lower eyelid blepharoplasty

    Today I saw my cosmetologist and realised I don't regret any of the things I've had done. I don't think I'm losing my identity, and I'm definitely not obsessively chasing perfection. My best decision was the blepharoplasty (removing the fat bags under my eyes).

What to expect

Before treatment
  • The eyes do not work together: a child develops amblyopia, an adult experiences double vision; depth perception is impaired.
After treatment
  • Surgery mainly corrects the position of the eyes, but it does not automatically restore visual acuity or cure amblyopia.
  • Proper alignment of the eyes creates better conditions for developing and maintaining binocular vision.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I start if I don’t know which service I need?

Start with a consultation. The ophthalmologist will assess your complaints and the condition of your eyes and decide whether further diagnostics are needed. If your question concerns aesthetic medicine, the administrator will help you book the right specialist.

Do I need full diagnostics before every consultation?

No. The scope of the examination is determined by the doctor based on your complaints and the results of previous visits.

Can I have a consultation and diagnostics in one place?

Yes. Consultation, diagnostics and treatment take place within one centre, often in a single visit.

Is laser vision correction suitable for everyone?

No. Suitability is determined by diagnostics: corneal thickness, vision stability and concomitant conditions.

Can I come for a preventive eye check-up if nothing bothers me?

Yes, and it is worth doing regularly — some eye diseases have no symptoms in the early stages.

How do I book an appointment?

Fill in the form on the website or call the administrator — they will choose a doctor and a convenient time for you.
