What will happen if a child's amblyopia is not treated?

The biggest harm to vulnerable groups is that it can cause patients' vision to deteriorate, and they will feel extremely uncomfortable and their eyes will be blurry when they see things. If it happens to children, it will not only affect the children, but also affect their making friends, learning and future work. Therefore, we must not relax about children's amblyopia. The consequences of not treating it are very serious. As parents, we need to pay attention to our children's amblyopia, which must be treated, and we must master the principles of treatment.

The biggest harm of amblyopia is that the child not only has low vision in both eyes or one eye, but also lacks perfect binocular vision function and fine stereoscopic vision.

The harm of amblyopia is far greater than that of myopia. This is because children with simple myopia can see things blurred at a distance but clearly at close range. Their visual cells and nerves can still be stimulated by external objects and will not decline. However, it is different with amblyopia. Because their visual cells and nerves cannot receive accurate stimulation from external objects for a long time, they decline. If it is not prevented and treated in time, vision will be permanently impaired.

Therefore, amblyopia will affect the life, study and work of patients for a lifetime. In their eyes, the stereoscopic vision is blurred, and they cannot accurately judge the direction and distance of objects.

Methods/Steps

Formation of strabismus. Monocular amblyopia is prone to strabismus. Visual cells and nerves will degenerate due to long-term separation from accurate stimulation of external objects. If not treated in time, vision will be permanently impaired and become monocular vision. In the long run, it will inevitably increase the burden on the healthy eye, vision will gradually deteriorate, and the amblyopic eye will develop into strabismus.

Poor vision. Amblyopia has poor vision. Unlike myopia, amblyopia still cannot see clearly even with glasses, which is also the main harm of amblyopia. It will cause inconvenience to children's study and life. And it will cause the child to have lifelong poor eyesight.

Poor learning. Amblyopia causes children to have poor academic performance. Due to poor vision, children’s classroom quality is poor and they cannot see the learning content clearly, which not only affects their learning but also affects their self-confidence. 4. No stereoscopic vision. Amblyopia causes children to have stereoscopic vision defects. Stereoscopic vision is the ability of the visual organs to perceive the distance, front and back, height, depth, and convexity of various objects in three-dimensional space. Children with amblyopia cannot accurately judge the direction and distance of objects, which affects their future.

Poor development. Amblyopia can cause poor development in children. Studies have shown that amblyopia will affect children's growth and development. Generally, amblyopic children will be shorter than children of the same age, which will have a certain impact on the child's life.

Withdrawn personality. Amblyopia can cause a child to have an withdrawn personality. Amblyopic children face blurred images every day, and the information received by their brains is different from that of normal children. At the same time, children can also know that they are different from others from the evaluation of others, which can easily lead to their withdrawn personality and low self-esteem, which is not conducive to the formation of a healthy psychology.
