Question
A four-year-old boy has been diagnosed with myopic amblyopia with strabismus, and his parents are seeking effective treatment methods.
Answer
The first step in treating pediatric amblyopia is to determine its type. For strabismic amblyopia, occlusion therapy can be used to encourage the strabismic eye to focus. For anisometropic amblyopia, the child needs to wear glasses and cover the healthy eye to complete the refractive correction. In the case of refractive ametropic amblyopia, glasses are also required, supplemented by training activities such as stringing beads or drawing. Different causes lead to different symptoms, so patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at regular three-level A hospitals as soon as possible for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, do well in cold prevention and warmth preservation, eat more light and soft foods in daily diet, ensure good ventilation, and drink more hot water.
