Surgical treatment of convergent strabismus.

In convergent strabismus, glasses, visual training and exercises are often helpful, but operation is usually needed in addition to produce a functional or cosmetic cure. Babies who are born cross-eyed should be examined early and nonsurgical treatment started so that proper visual appreciation will be developed in both eyes. Children in whom strabismus develops some time after birth (usually between 18 months and six years of age) should be examined with atropine, glasses prescribed when indicated and full medical treatment instituted. If those measures fail, operation should be done on one or both eyes, the operation depending on the magnitude of the deviation.
