Patient's question:
My nephew is only 10 years old now and has myopia. His amblyopia is 700 degrees, both left and right eyes.Doctor's answer:
Hello, amblyopia is a common pediatric eye disease in ophthalmology. It is a condition where visual function is impaired due to the inability to receive appropriate visual stimuli during infancy and early childhood, as a result of various reasons such as perception, motor function, conduction, and visual cortex issues, affecting visual development. The main manifestations are low vision and binocular single vision dysfunction. In China, the incidence rate of amblyopia is approximately 2-4%, mostly affecting one eye, but it can also affect both eyes. According to etiological classification, it is divided into: (1) strabismic amblyopia; (2) refractive amblyopia; (3) refractive anisometropia amblyopia; (4) form deprivation amblyopia; (5) congenital amblyopia. The key to treating amblyopia lies in early detection and early treatment.
