Question
If there is no organic disease in the eye and optic pathway, how should amblyopia be treated? What measures should be taken in this situation?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to assist you: Amblyopia refers to a condition where there is no organic disease in the eye and optic pathway, primarily caused by functional factors. It involves reduced visual acuity that cannot be corrected to normal levels and generally does not reach above 0.8. This is a common eye disease in children during their visual development and can severely affect their vision. If not detected and treated early, it may lead to permanent vision defects. Treatment for amblyopia should be initiated as early as possible, which includes, but is not limited to, wearing appropriate glasses, undergoing vision training, and using occlusion therapy. The specific treatment plan should be determined by a professional ophthalmologist based on individual circumstances.
