How to deal with amblyopia and astigmatism?

Patient's question:

Boy, 8 years old, my child has myopia, and recently his eyes are itchy and red with some blood vessels. After examination, it was said that the child has mild strabismus. How should we deal with mild strabismus and astigmatism?

Doctor's answer:

Methods for treating amblyopia must be selected one by one under the guidance of a specialist doctor, but the prerequisite is that additional careful examination and refraction must be conducted. The most appropriate treatment method should be chosen based on the nature of the amblyopia and the specific condition of the patient. Currently, the general treatment methods for amblyopia include:
1. Correction of refractive errors: Making objects appear clearly on the retina is the key first step in treating amblyopia. Before prescribing glasses, atropine dilation must be used for refraction to obtain accurate prescription measurements, followed by appropriate therapeutic glasses.
2. Magnetic resonance therapy: Using an amblyopia magnetic resonance therapy device can stabilize local blood supply to the eye, relieve visual fatigue, and control the progression of myopia in adolescents, thereby slowing the recovery time for amblyopia.
