Patient's question:
The child's eyes look straight ahead normally, but they turn when looking in other directions.Doctor's answer:
If the corrected vision cannot reach 5.0, it is necessary to consider the possibility of amblyopia. In such cases, wearing glasses and undergoing amblyopia training is essential. Amblyopia training is most effective when done before the age of 6, and it becomes almost ineffective after the age of 12. The later it is started, the worse the results. Therefore, it is best to seek medical attention as early as possible to avoid delaying the treatment.Since there are various causes of pediatric strabismus and amblyopia, it is crucial to identify the underlying reasons before treatment to adopt targeted approaches for effective results. Additionally, daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to eat less spicy food and consume more eye-protective foods.
