I received a consultation for exotropia surgery at Neul Balgeun Ophthalmology in Yeonsu, Incheon.

 

First, in the physical examination conducted by the school

I was told to get a re-examination because my vision came back low.

I received a recommendation.

Simply due to the progression of myopia occurring during the growth period

I had been thinking about it and visited a nearby ophthalmologist.

The doctor asked if I didn't know I had strabismus.

They told me I need surgery.

 

I was surprised just by the fact that he/she had strabismus.

I was so flustered when they told me I had to have surgery right away.

I just did a basic skill check and returned home.

From this day onwards, regarding strabismus surgery in children and adolescents

I searched for a hospital.

The criteria I used to choose the hospital was

It had to be a place with a pediatrician.

It had to be a hospital where surgery could be performed at the same time.

Fortunately, it is nearby.

Yeonsu visited Neul Balgeun Ophthalmology.

You can make a reservation by phone.

Perhaps because it is a hospital where surgery is possible even with a reservation

From as short as 30 minutes to as long as over an hour

I had to wait.

When making a phone reservation consultation

Ask in detail about the patient's symptoms.

I liked what you gave me.

The day of the appointment and the day before the appointment

Also, thank you for informing me of the status of appointment number 1 again via text message.

It was good.

 

After registering at the eye examination center

We conducted various vision tests.

I was waiting and was able to receive treatment.

 

 

In the first case, it is not exotropia.

He told me he was a son-in-law.

In the case of the foreign affairs committee, for example...

By recognizing on its own that the focus is shifting

Because it can be reversed

If you just do eye training and vision correction well

They said that surgery is not even necessary.

 

Fortunately, in the first case, the degree of exotropia was also

It's not that severe, so...

They suggested monitoring with regular checkups.

 

The good points were

Thank you for giving me an accurate diagnosis, and accordingly

The point is that I was able to start the prescription right away.

Also, rather than unnecessary fear in the child

Eye training methods you can practice in your daily life

I felt relieved because you explained everything so thoroughly.

 

I was so flustered because the name of the disease was so unfamiliar that...

If you proceeded with surgery immediately at the hospital where you received your initial consultation

An unwanted outcome could have occurred.

The more you don't know, the more of a disease it is

You need to do your research and choose a hospital carefully.

I came to realize.
