Question

A 7-year-old boy was diagnosed with amblyopia during an eye examination, and he has difficulty seeing distant objects clearly, indicating a visual impairment. I would like to know how to treat amblyopia in children?

Answer

Amblyopia in children can generally be corrected and treated by wearing glasses or undergoing surgery. Glasses are suitable for patients with mild amblyopia, while surgery is more appropriate for those with severe cases. In addition to treatment, it is also important to protect the eyes to prevent the condition from worsening. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek immediate systematic and standardized examinations at a regular three-level A hospital based on their specific conditions for targeted treatment and rapid recovery.
