How long does the treatment for childhood strabismus and amblyopia take?

Patient's question:

A child was found to have blurred vision at the age of 4. After examination by you, the result was diagnosed as infantile strabismus amblyopia. At that time, the uncorrected visual acuity was 0.6, 0.8. After years of persistent treatment, the current visual acuity is 1.0, 1.0.

Doctor's answer:

As long as you wear appropriate distance glasses or bifocals, the vision can be corrected. If there is also moderate to high refractive error, it is often necessary to wear glasses for correction. Additionally, methods such as axis correction training can help restore and improve binocular vision and fusion ability. For example, training can be done using an axis correction training machine or by wearing prism lenses. If there is also amblyopia, amblyopia training is also an indispensable part of the treatment.
