Answer
Amblyopia and other eye issues like astigmatism are generally related to insufficient nutritional supply to the eyes. Generally speaking, when the body lacks protein, the fluid in the aqueous humor is not easily controlled by albumin, which may lead to changes in intraocular pressure, causing astigmatism. At the same time, due to a lack of protein, the production of rhodopsin and iodopsin within the eyes increases, leading to decreased vision; a deficiency in vitamin A can also affect vision; and a lack of calcium can increase the elasticity of the lens, increasing the risk of amblyopia. The primary approach to treating amblyopia and astigmatism is to supplement these nutrients, which is the root of solving the problem. Additionally, taking specific health supplements, such as bilberry vision capsules, may be helpful for amblyopia and astigmatism. The treatment for amblyopia is mainly conducted before the age of 12, with the most effective treatment period being before 7 years old.
