Objective To investigate the effect of visual training on the recovery of binocular visual function in strabismic patients after surgery. Methods A total of 80 hospitalized cases of strabismus in elementary school children admitted to the hospital from August 2024 to August 2025 were selected and randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received only routine follow-up, visual acuity, and eye position examinations postoperatively, while the observation group underwent a systematic, multi-stage visual training program in addition. The changes in binocular visual function, including stereopsis, fusion range, and visual fatigue scores, were compared between the two groups before and 3 months after surgery. Results Three months postoperatively, both groups showed significant improvements in stereopsis levels and visual fatigue scores compared to preoperative levels, along with a significant increase in fusion range (P < 0.05). Additionally, the observation group exhibited significantly better stereopsis levels and lower visual fatigue scores than the control group, along with a significantly larger fusion range, with all differences being statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Postoperative visual training in strabismic elementary school children effectively promotes the recovery of binocular visual function, enhances binocular coordination and fusion ability, improves stereopsis levels, and reduces visual fatigue, demonstrating important clinical value for the functional reconstruction of the visual system and the enhancement of visual quality in children.
