Question
A five-year-old girl recently experienced a decline in her vision, diagnosed by a doctor as strabismus. The parents are concerned about how to cope with amblyopia if it is not treated in time after adulthood.
Answer
The treatment for amblyopia typically includes surgery and patching of one eye, and in most cases, it can effectively correct the vision. If the degree of amblyopia is controlled well during growth, adults can use glasses to assist their vision after adulthood, which generally will not greatly affect daily life. Amblyopia caused by different reasons may require different treatment methods. It is recommended that patients consult a regular medical institution for detailed examinations and symptomatic treatment as soon as possible. In addition, maintaining a regular lifestyle, keeping warm, choosing light and easy-to-digest food, ensuring good indoor air circulation, and drinking plenty of water can all help maintain eye health.
