What are the symptoms of amblyopia in children?

We can find that nowadays more and more children wear glasses. Many children wear glasses in primary school. This may have a lot to do with the fact that children nowadays have a lot of homework and often watch TV, computers, mobile phones, etc. If we can detect abnormal vision in children early and take measures to protect their eyesight early, it may change the child's fate of needing to wear glasses for life. So what are the symptoms of amblyopia in children?

In daily life, parents should pay attention to these signs of their baby. If the baby shows such symptoms, it may be a precursor to amblyopia.

1. When you like to be in a daze or focus on something, your eyes will cross.

2. He has difficulty seeing things and likes to get very close. Babies with this kind of performance have vision problems, so parents should pay special attention.

3. Likes to read with head tilted and face tilted. Incorrect reading posture will affect your baby's eyesight. And if the baby always looks at things sideways, he may develop strabismus, which may then develop into amblyopia.

4. Squint your eyes in the sun because you are afraid of the light. This means that there is a difference in the refractive power of the baby's two eyes. The eye that is afraid of light will become more and more "timid" and its vision will decline accordingly.

5. Always look at things sideways. When a baby looks at something with his eyes squinting, he usually uses only one eye, while the other eye cannot pay attention to what he is looking at. Over time, the baby's cerebral cortex will suppress the impulse of information transmitted by the strabismus eye, and slowly this eye will become amblyopic.

6. The visual acuity of one or both eyes is low, usually below 0.3, and cannot be corrected by lenses. Fundus examination is normal.

Many things do not happen all at once. There are always some signs before they happen, and the same is true for children's amblyopia. If parents can discover the abnormality of their children's eyes earlier, perhaps the children's vision is still within the correctable range. So according to the information provided by the editor, parents can pay attention to whether their children have such manifestations. If so, be sure to check the baby's vision.
