B)
Use of beta-adrenergic blockers and latanoprost eye drops
C)
Regularly scheduled eye exams and monitoring of self-correction of his eyes

Surgical correction of the musculature

Strabismus is ideally treated by surgery rather than with glasses in the case of infants. The condition will not resolve independently, and medications are unlikely to help the condition.
