Child's vision 0.7-0.8 is amblyopia?

Patient's question:

The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always like to cry. Is a vision of 0.7-0.8 considered amblyopia?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to what you mentioned, it is possible that it could be myopia combined with myopia. If a child shows symptoms of myopia, it is recommended to have an eye examination. If it is pathological myopia, early correction is necessary. However, if it is due to excessive eye strain, doing eye exercises more often can help. Pay attention not to use your eyes for more than one hour, and take appropriate rest afterward.
Since there are various reasons that can cause childhood strabismus and amblyopia, it is essential to understand the cause before treatment and implement symptomatic treatment. Additionally, daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to drink more water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
