Hello, amblyopia is a common pediatric eye disease in ophthalmology. It is a condition where visual function is impaired due to the failure to receive appropriate visual stimuli during infancy and early childhood, caused by various reasons such as perception, motor function, conduction, and visual cortex issues, leading to affected visual development. The main manifestations include poor vision and binocular single vision dysfunction. In China, the incidence 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) anisometropic amblyopia; (4) form deprivation amblyopia; (5) congenital amblyopia. The key to treating amblyopia lies in early detection and early treatment.
