How to effectively treat amblyopia in children

Having a pair of bright big eyes is the dream of many people, but this dream has thwarted many people. They have to wear glasses at a very early age. Although glasses can help people correct their vision, it is undeniable that glasses will bring people a lot of trouble and inconvenience. Now we find that more and more children are wearing glasses. In fact, children’s eyes are still developing. There is no need to worry as long as they are treated properly. Amblyopia is a common eye disease. Do you know how to treat amblyopia in children more effectively?

1. The younger the age of early treatment of amblyopia, the better the effect

Treatment can start as early as 1-2 years old. Amblyopia before 6 years old can be easily cured to above 1.0. The above-mentioned refractory amblyopia is difficult to cure to above 1.0 if it is treated after the age of 6. Amblyopia over 12 years old is generally considered to be basically ineffective.

2. Wear glasses early

When amblyopia is accompanied by hyperopia, astigmatism or myopia, glasses should be worn as soon as possible as required by the doctor. Wearing glasses is the basis for treating amblyopia. If you don’t wear glasses when you should, the treatment effect will be poor or even ineffective, causing greater harm.

3. Amblyopia treatment device combined with computer software

Amblyopia can be regarded as a kind of "visual atrophy" or "sleeping photoreceptor cells". More severe amblyopia must be cured by using an amblyopia device to exercise the "atrophied" vision or wake up the "sleeping" photoreceptor cells. The latest modern scientific research results can be utilized to combine traditional amblyopia treatment devices with modern multimedia intelligent software. Through the combination of indirect vision enhancement (such as light brushes, afterimages, red light flashes, etc.) and direct vision enhancement (such as fine work, visual stimulation, etc.), the vision of amblyopia patients can be effectively improved.

4. Cover the healthy eye

When the visual acuity of the two eyes differs by more than 2 rows, eye cover treatment must be performed under the guidance of a doctor to avoid a decrease in the visual acuity of the healthy eye.

5. Consolidation Treatment

After vision returns to normal, visual function training such as fusion vision and stereoscopic vision should be carried out. If treatment is interrupted, your child's vision may deteriorate in the future. Visual training for children with amblyopia is a long process.

What is the most effective way to treat amblyopia in children? After reading the introduction above, I believe everyone already knows how to better treat amblyopia. We all know that treating amblyopia is a relatively slow process, so parents should not worry too much. As long as the treatment is serious, the child’s vision will recover bit by bit. Therefore, we should educate children to use their eyes correctly and take good care of their eyes in normal times, so that their eyes will be better.
