What should be done about congenital severe amblyopia in children?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

1. Correct refractive errors;
2. Central fixation: Covering therapy, visual stimulation therapy, suppression therapy to improve vision;
3. Peripheral fixation: Afterimage therapy, red filter or red flash therapy, Hering's brush, to restore foveal central fixation;
4. Synoptophore training.
Principles of medication:
1. No special medication for amblyopia.
2. 1% atropine ointment or solution is 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.
