Question
My child has been born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they tend to cry. How can amblyopia be treated?
Answer
The most effective treatment for amblyopia is photorefractive keratectomy surgery, which is more precise in its effects. Alternatively, one can opt for wearing glasses, which is suitable for the condition where one can see near objects clearly but distant ones appear blurry. Under the condition of refractive stability, distant objects cannot converge on the retina but form a focus before it, causing visual distortion and making distant objects appear blurry. Myopia is divided into refractive and astigmatic types. Among them, refractive myopia is the most severe. Refractive myopia can reach 600 degrees or more, which is considered high myopia.
