Question
A 9-year-old girl was found to have amblyopia during an eye examination, with distant objects appearing blurry and vision impairment. Concerned, she inquired about treatment strategies for amblyopia.
Answer
Your binocular refractive error is approximately 400 or more. Due to not wearing suitable glasses in time, your left eye has developed amblyopia. The most effective treatment for amblyopia is to wear glasses that fit properly, cover the eye with normal vision, and train the amblyopic eye. Surgery is not effective for amblyopia. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek a comprehensive examination at a qualified hospital as soon as possible for effective treatment.
