Question

A 2-year-old boy complains of eye discomfort, and upon examination, is diagnosed with pediatric amblyopia. Could you please explain the treatment methods for pediatric amblyopia?

Answer

The first step in treating pediatric amblyopia is to correct the refractive error, which may require wearing glasses. Simultaneously, special training may be necessary to eliminate visual suppression and improve vision. Additionally, training the foveal fixation and fusion functions can help restore normal binocular vision. Treatment methods may vary for different patients, so it is recommended that patients visit professional hospitals for detailed examinations to develop appropriate treatment plans.
