Hypermetropia

I have a 5 year old sun. He was diagnosed with Astigmatism and Hypermetropia +5. He wares glasses with lenses of +3.75 at his right eye and +4 at hit left eye. He also has Strabismus, especially to his right eye, which moves really bad towards the nose when not wearing glasses. I want to know what else can i do to cure his Strabismus and the other two problems. Are there any special exercises and if so, which are those? Can surgery be performed for any of his medical conditions at his age? Will Strabismus disappear in time; how long? I would really like for him to see straight and his eye to look good, especially that he will soon be in school; to avoid any possible embarrassment that he might have because of the Strabismus. Thank you.

This is accommodative esotropia and it is treated with glasses.  There are not exercises and surgery is not indicated as long as the eyes are straight with glasses.
