Question
A 9-year-old girl watches TV very closely, and she can’t see clearly if she sits further away. The hospital examination says she has strabismus, and I’m very worried about her condition. Do I need to use mydriasis for the amblyopia examination?
Answer
Amblyopia examination requires mydriasis to accurately obtain the results. The younger the child, the better the correction effect after treatment, as children’s eyes are not fully grown and developed. It is best to consult a doctor at a professional hospital during the treatment process. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, and patients need to go to a regular top-grade hospital for systematic and standardized examinations as soon as possible for targeted treatment.
