5-year-old child with amblyopia

If a 5-year-old child has amblyopia, parents should take them to the hospital for relevant examinations as soon as possible. They should also adjust their emotions and not let them become too irritable. They must remain emotionally comfortable and actively cooperate with the corresponding treatment. In terms of diet, they can be given more foods that are good for protecting the eyes. These foods can serve as auxiliary treatments.

Adjust your mood

Keep a good mood. People's psychological activities are an important factor affecting the physiological functions of internal organs. When the spirit is happy, a chemical substance beneficial to health is added to the blood. On the contrary, when one is angry, depressed or sad, his emotions are in chaos, which will seriously interfere with the functions of the internal organs of the human body. When in a depressed state, it will inhibit the secretion of digestive juices and intestinal peristalsis, causing loss of appetite. Over time, it will lead to malnutrition in pregnant women, which in turn will affect the development of the fetus and may cause amblyopia.

Therefore, experts from Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital remind pregnant women: During pregnancy, you should pay attention to regulating your emotions, be in a good mood, maintain a good mental state, and avoid the impact of negative emotions on body functions.

Adjust your diet

Ensure nutrition. The nutrition of pregnant women is directly related to the development of the fetus's visual organs. If pregnant women are partial to certain foods, picky eaters, or have anorexia, it will lead to malnutrition and lack of certain trace elements, which will affect the development of the fetus and even cause deformities. For example, the trace element zinc is an essential element for the growth and development of the fetal eye and visual function. If the pregnant woman is deficient in zinc, it may lead to fetal amblyopia.

In order to ensure their own health and the good development of the fetus, pregnant women must ensure adequate nutrition, take the initiative to achieve a balanced diet, not be partial or picky about food, and mainly eat light and nutritious food. Do not overeat spicy, sour, coffee and other irritating foods. Foods rich in zinc include meat, fish, shrimp, etc.

Quit smoking and drinking

Develop good living habits. Alcohol can consume a lot of zinc. Pregnant women who often drink alcohol may lack the trace element zinc in their bodies, causing the fetus's visual organs to develop poorly and cause amblyopia. Tobacco contains a very toxic substance called "cyanide". For long-term smokers, cyanide is easily accumulated in the body. Once it accumulates too much, cyanide poisoning will gradually occur, leading to tobacco poisoning amblyopia. In particular, smokers and alcoholics are more likely to develop tobacco poisoning amblyopia. Therefore, if you want your baby's eyes to develop well, pregnant women should not only quit smoking and drinking, but also try to stay away from environments with passive smoking.
