Question

Which type of amblyopia treatment is suitable for a 6-year-old child?

Answer

Strabismus in children should be detected and treated early. Early treatment not only corrects the strabismus but also helps restore binocular single vision function, achieving the goal of functional cure. Delayed treatment may result in permanent loss of binocular single vision function, even skeletal deformities and compensatory head positions that cannot be restored. Even if corrected through surgery, it can only achieve aesthetic effects, and without support from binocular single vision function, there is still a risk of recurrence of strabismus.
