The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they also love crying a lot. How should congenital severe amblyopia in children be handled?Doctor's answer:
1. Correct refractive errors;2. Central fixators: Covering therapy, visual stimulation therapy, suppression therapy to improve vision;
3. Peripheral fixators: Afterimage therapy, red filter or red flash therapy, Hering's brush, restoring foveal central fixation;
4. Synoptophore training.
Principles of medication:
1. No special medication for amblyopia.
2. 1% atropine ointment or eye drops are mainly used in suppression therapy. The healthy eye is treated with 1% atropine to blur vision, forcing the patient to use the amblyopic eye, which facilitates training to improve the vision of the amblyopic eye.
