Question
What are the treatment methods for children with amblyopia that do not involve wearing glasses or eye patches?
Answer
If a child has amblyopia and does not wear glasses or eye patches, they can try red light stimulation therapy at a hospital. They can also wear the eye patch less often, but in fact, the eye patch is one of the best treatment methods, and it is also economical and convenient. Just like exercising the weaker right hand more to balance the strength between the right and left hands, this can help the better eye’s optic nerve develop. However, if the optic nerve has already fully developed, the effect will be limited.
