Question

Can children with amblyopia take lutein-like medications for treatment?

Answer

The treatment of amblyopia primarily involves correcting refractive errors and vision training. Currently, there is no specific medication for the treatment of amblyopia. In some treatment methods, such as suppression therapy, 1% atropine ointment or eye drops can be used under the guidance of an ophthalmologist to suppress the vision of the normal eye, thereby forcing the use of the amblyopic eye and improving the vision of the amblyopic eye. However, this must be done under the supervision of an ophthalmologist.
