Question
A 5-year-old boy has experienced a significant decline in vision. After a thorough examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with myopic amblyopia and strabismus. Concerned about this situation, the parent wants to know how to examine and treat pediatric amblyopia?
Answer
There are some home-based treatment devices and methods for amblyopia treatment now: Covering Therapy is an ancient yet effective method for treating amblyopia, and it is one of the simplest, most economical, and most effective methods for treating childhood amblyopia. Fine Vision Training is a special exercise for the affected eye, such as using a red thread to sew through a needle, or learning embroidery, drawing, painting, calligraphy, etc. Fine Vision Training must be performed using the affected eye, as it is an important part of successful childhood amblyopia treatment. Amblyopia Treatment Devices include pulsed red light therapy. Comprehensive Evaluation Therapy is superior to single-method therapy due to the different mechanisms of various treatment methods. I recommend a Western medical treatment method for amblyopia, which is the covering method, with a long history.
