Question
A 8-year-old girl was found to have amblyopia during an eye examination, with distant objects appearing blurry and vision impairment. She is very worried and wants to know how to achieve better treatment effects for amblyopia?
Answer
Firstly, it is essential to correct the cause of the amblyopia, such as wearing glasses to correct myopia or hyperopia, making the retinal imaging clearer. This promotes the continuous growth and development of visual function. For organic inflammation such as congenital cataracts, corneal leucoma, and severe ptosis of the upper eyelid, it is necessary to first undergo surgical treatment for the primary disease, allowing the eyes to recover transparency and facilitate clear retinal imaging. Then, further treatment for amblyopia can be carried out.
