A one-year-old child is found to have left eye esotropia, which is not a complete strabismus and sometimes appears normal. Consider wearing glasses after 18 months to improve appearance and prevent the progression of strabismus into amblyopia. A re-examination and possible refraction is needed between 6 months to 1 year after the age of 6 months to 1 year, as the degree of hyperopia may decrease with the development of the eyes, and may no longer require glasses. It is essential to confirm the cause before treatment and implement symptomatic therapy. Daily care is also very important; it is recommended to drink plenty of water and consume vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables.
The child’s eyes have been tearing up shortly after birth, and they always seem to be crying. The child has a visual acuity of 0.4 and does not wear glasses for both eyes. What should be done?
Strabismus and amblyopia are like twin brothers, influencing each other. If both conditions are present, and the child is within the treatment age range, it is crucial to treat amblyopia first before addressing strabismus. If the child is below the treatment age, strabismus surgery should be considered first. Parents should opt for early treatment and early diagnosis. Once strabismus and amblyopia are diagnosed, it is recommended to treat amblyopia first, followed by strabismus. This is a very definite principle.
What is the difference between amblyopia and myopia?
It is recommended to take children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and to implement symptomatic treatment and nursing measures in daily life.
The treatment of amblyopia involves enhancing visual growth and development, which is why the treatment process is relatively long. With active cooperation between the child, parents, and doctors, amblyopia can be relieved within an appropriate timeframe.
Understanding the treatment and daily precautions for children with amblyopia and astigmatism
Children with amblyopia can generally be corrected and treated through wearing glasses or surgery. It is necessary to undergo systematic and standardized examinations at a regular three-level A hospital to receive targeted treatment.
For children aged 4 with strabismus and amblyopia, early detection and treatment are crucial. If the child has refractive errors, they should be treated first before addressing the strabismus. If there are no refractive errors, strabismus treatment can be conducted directly. It is recommended to bring the child to a regular three-level A hospital for a thorough examination and treatment.
