Question
A five-year-old boy often complains about not being able to see the blackboard clearly and says he sees double when looking at things. Upon examination, it was found that he has amblyopia. What are the treatment methods for amblyopia?
Answer
Amblyopia treatment can be achieved through wearing glasses for vision correction. The covering therapy, which involves alternating the use of eyes, significantly enhances the eye’s accommodative power. It is advisable to avoid excessive television viewing and to continue wearing glasses. It is recommended to visit a regular ophthalmology hospital or a large general hospital for a detailed examination, where the doctor can choose the appropriate treatment method to achieve the best treatment outcome. Pay attention to changes in prescription and adjust the glasses’ prescription in a timely manner. Alternate the use of eyes, that is, cover one eye and train the other specifically. Perform the training alternately, and seek medical attention promptly for a comprehensive and detailed examination.
