Question
Male, 9 years old. My child always says he can’t see the blackboard clearly, and he mentions having double vision when looking at things. Later, a check-up revealed he has amblyopia. Can a 9-year-old with amblyopia improve through treatment?
Answer
Amblyopia currently has no cure and involves a long-term treatment process. It is recommended to seek early medical treatment, wear corrective glasses under a doctor’s guidance, perform eye function exercises, and undergo surgery if necessary. Treating amblyopia in childhood is more effective. Different causes lead to different symptoms, so patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at regular three-level A hospitals as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment. In addition, patients should maintain regular daily routines, take good care of their health, eat light and soft foods in their daily diet, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
