At age 10, when is the appropriate time for surgery for a child with amblyopia?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Principles of Amblyopia Treatment:
1. Correct refractive errors;
2. For central fixators: occlusion therapy, visual stimulation therapy, and suppression therapy to improve vision;
3. For eccentric fixators: afterimage therapy, red filter or red flash therapy, Hering's brush, and recovery of macular foveal fixation;
4. Homophoria machine training.
Principles of Medication Use:
1. There is no specific medication for amblyopia.
2. 1% atropine ointment or solution is mainly used in suppression therapy. The sound eye is treated with 1% atropine to blur vision, forcing the patient to use the amblyopic eye, which helps improve the vision of the amblyopic eye during training.
