Strabismus also requires dilated refraction to investigate the causes and characteristics of refractive errors, which include myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and amblyopia. Additionally, it could be related to other eye conditions. Strabismus in adolescents is mostly caused by amblyopia and sometimes congenital issues. If strabismus is solely due to refractive errors, it can typically be corrected gradually through dilated refraction and proper eyeglass fitting. However, congenital strabismus generally requires surgical treatment. Therefore, it is quite necessary to perform dilated refraction again in cases of strabismus.
