Pediatric strabismus most commonly occurs between six months and six years of age, when eye movement is fully developed. Esotropia is common between six months and three years of age, and exotropia is common between three and six years of age. Symptoms include blurred vision, eye fatigue, headaches, and double vision. Children with difficulty opening their eyes when exposed to sunlight or frequent head turns and tilts may also be suspected of having strabismus. Intermittent exotropia, which can occur without a specific cause, may also present with squinting of one eye. These symptoms often occur with visual disturbances such as double vision, so careful observation of the child's behavior is crucial. If pediatric strabismus is suspected, a visit to the hospital is essential for an accurate diagnosis. The presence and severity of strabismus can be determined through visual acuity tests, refraction tests, strabismus angle tests, and eye movement tests. Treatment for pediatric strabismus should be tailored to the diagnosis. While it's sometimes said that pediatric strabismus improves without treatment, this is not true. This often stems from a lack of a proper diagnosis. Strabismus is generally difficult to improve naturally and progresses slowly, making treatment essential. In children, treatment can restore ocular alignment, leading to improved stereopsis. Therefore, the sooner diagnosis and treatment, the better.
