Question

The child is an 8-year-old boy. Lately, I’ve noticed that he often watches TV with his head tilted and squinting his eyes. Later, the hospital examination found mild myopia and strabismus. Can a child’s amblyopia be treated and improved?

Answer

If a child has amblyopia, it can be cured as long as treatment is timely. After treatment, attention should be paid to eye habits and hygiene, avoiding long periods of eye use or watching TV, smartphones, etc., and taking timely breaks for the eyes. Eating high-protein, vitamin-rich foods is also recommended. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at regular hospitals as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment. In daily life, regular work and rest , keeping warm, eating light and soft foods, frequent ventilation, and drinking hot water are also important.
