What should we do if children have amblyopia?

Amblyopia in children is a relatively common eye disease. If a child suffers from this condition, it will cause very serious harm to them and will also bring a lot of trouble to their lives. Therefore, when a child develops amblyopia, he must go to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately. The following editor will explain in detail the treatment methods for amblyopia in children for your reference.

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.

When children have amblyopia, it seriously endangers their eye health and also causes great trouble to their studies. Therefore, parents must learn some methods about treating children's amblyopia in normal times, so that children can get rid of this disease as soon as possible. I hope that the above introduction by the editor will be helpful to you.
