How to treat amblyopia in children effectively

Parents must not ignore the problem of amblyopia in children. Only by discovering it as early as possible and taking treatment measures as early as possible can better treatment results be achieved. Parents should also pay attention to the diet of amblyopic children, and ask them to develop good eating habits and supplement various nutrients.

1. If you find that your child has amblyopia, you must actively treat it:

The earlier amblyopia is treated, the better the results. Studies have shown that the critical period for amblyopia treatment is within 2 years old, the sensitive period is between 6 and 8 years old, the treatment effect is poor after 10 years old, and the effect is minimal after 12 years old.

2. If you find your child has amblyopia, you must insist on treatment:

Parents should encourage and guide their children to cooperate with doctors in treatment. Younger children may find amblyopia treatment boring and uncomfortable and are unwilling to cooperate. Especially wearing glasses and amblyopia training. However, amblyopia treatment must be persistent to be effective. If you don't work hard for three days and then stop for two days, it will not only prolong the treatment time for your child, but also may miss the opportunity for treatment, resulting in lifelong incurable disease.

3. If you find your child has amblyopia, you must pay attention to their diet:

Parents should cultivate good eating habits in their children and not be picky about food; pay attention to guiding their children to eat more coarse grains (such as cornmeal, millet, etc.) to increase the supply of vitamins; eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, appropriately increase protein intake, and limit excessive sugar intake to promote the development of the retina and optic nerve.

4. Notes

If you find that your child has amblyopia, don't panic. As long as the treatment and training are appropriate, the child has a chance to restore normal vision. But it must be noted that amblyopia treatment cannot be delayed. The window for amblyopia treatment is short and children cannot afford to delay it. First, parents should make sure their children have regular vision checks to detect amblyopia in a timely manner; second, after discovering that their children have amblyopia, they should actively take them to a regular ophthalmology hospital for treatment; third, they should urge their children to persist in treatment training. For the lifelong happiness of children, parents must have a positive attitude and take positive actions
