Question
A 10-year-old boy has recently been noticed to prefer watching TV at an angle and tends to squint when watching. A hospital check-up revealed he has mild myopia and strabismus. How should amblyopia be treated in children?
Answer
The key to treating amblyopia is accurate prescription of glasses, along with additional treatments such as cycloplegic refraction for children, wearing appropriate glasses, and then proceeding with treatment. Traditional occlusion therapy, detailed visual acuity homework, and visual stimulation therapy are all effective treatment methods that can significantly improve the vision of the amblyopic eye. Visual stimulation therapy is particularly suitable for refractive amblyopia.
