Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always like to cry. Please ask if a child with amblyopia can watch TV.Doctor's answer:
The key to treating amblyopia is accurate refractive correction. Children also require dilated eye exams and need to wear appropriate glasses as a foundation for treatment.(1) Traditional occlusion therapy: Cover the better eye and force the amblyopic eye (the weaker eye) to focus on objects while performing fine motor vision exercises, such as using an amblyopia paddle for training. This stimulates the development of the visual nervous system, improving the vision of the amblyopic eye. This method is simple and easy to implement, suitable for strabismic amblyopia and anisometropic amblyopia, with reliable results.
(2) Visual stimulation therapy (also known as CAM stimulation): Utilizes high-contrast, spatially frequency-different gratings as a stimulus source to improve vision in the amblyopic eye. This method is simple and easy to perform, with short treatment times and quick results, particularly effective for refractive amblyopia. Other methods include suppression therapy and afterimage therapy, among others.
