Question
Female, 8 years old, my child has had a slight increase in vision lately, struggling to see things clearly. The hospital examination said she has astigmatism with amblyopia. What should be done for amblyopia?
Answer
It is essential to correct amblyopia promptly. Generally, it requires a thorough eye examination and prescription of glasses based on the degree of the condition. Adults with amblyopia are not suitable for surgical treatment and should also pay attention to proper eye usage. Different causes lead to different symptoms, so patients need to visit a regular hospital as soon as possible for systematic examination and symptomatic treatment. In addition, daily routines should be regular, cold protection measures should be taken, a light and soft diet should be maintained, ventilation should be frequent, and plenty of hot water should be consumed.
