Question
A 5-year-old boy has myopia and recently developed symptoms such as itchy, red eyes, and bloodshot veins. After examination, he was diagnosed with esotropia. What are some more effective treatment methods for amblyopia?
Answer
Amblyopia is characterized by poor vision at both near and far distances, and some myopia patients may also have accommodative esotropia. The boy’s strabismus may be related to his myopia and amblyopia, or it could be congenital. Given his high myopia prescription, wearing glasses is necessary. Treatment recommendations include daily amblyopia training and regular eye examinations. As he grows older, if he reaches 18 years of age, the effectiveness of treatment will significantly decrease. For strabismus, if the symptoms improve after wearing glasses, surgery is not necessary; however, if the symptoms persist, surgical treatment should be considered.
