Question
When is the best time for a 10-year-old child with amblyopia to undergo surgery?
Answer
The principles of amblyopia treatment include: 1. Correcting refractive errors; 2. For patients with central fixation, methods such as occlusion therapy, vision stimulation therapy, and suppression exercises can be used to improve vision; 3. For patients with eccentric fixation, methods like posterior image therapy, red light filtering lenses, red light flashing therapy, and Heiner Brush can be used to restore foveal center fixation; 4. Stereoscopic training. In terms of medication treatment, 1% atropine ointment or eye drops are mainly used during suppression exercises to blur the vision of the healthy eye, forcing the patient to use the amblyopic eye and thereby improving the vision of the amblyopic eye.
