Question

A 14-year-old boy has been undergoing treatment for amblyopia and taking medication, but there has been no improvement. The parents are very worried and ask: What are the methods for treating amblyopia?

Answer

The methods for treating children’s amblyopia include occlusion therapy and vision therapy. Occlusion therapy involves covering the eye with normal vision to encourage the amblyopic eye to grow and develop. Vision therapy, on the other hand, stimulates the amblyopic eye’s ocular nerves through specific patterns. It is recommended that parents take their child to a regular hospital for a thorough examination as soon as possible. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to receive systematic and standardized examinations at a regular hospital based on their own condition to ensure effective treatment and a quick recovery.
