Question

Male, 8 years old. My child has myopia and recently his eyes have been very itchy, red, and there are some bloodshot veins. After examination, it was said that the child has accommodative esotropia. How should we deal with nearsightedness and astigmatism?

Answer

The treatment for amblyopia varies and must be selected under the guidance of a specialist doctor. However, the prerequisite is to conduct additional detailed examinations and refraction to select the most appropriate treatment method based on the nature of the amblyopia and the specific condition of the patient. Currently, general treatment methods for amblyopia include:

  1. Correcting refractive errors: Clearing images on the retina is the key first step in treating amblyopia. Before fitting glasses, it is necessary to use atropine eye drops for dilation and refraction to obtain accurate prescription numbers, followed by appropriate therapeutic glasses fitting.
  2. Magnetic Resonance Therapy: Utilizing amblyopia magnetic resonance therapy equipment to stabilize regional blood supply in the eye area, alleviate visual fatigue, and control the expansion of myopia in adolescents, slowing down the recovery time of amblyopia.
