Patient's question:
Male, 5 years old, my child always says he can't see the blackboard clearly, and he says things appear double. Later, it was found that he has amblyopia with strabismus. What are the causes of congenital amblyopia?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the cause of congenital pediatric amblyopia is not yet clear. It may be due to retinal or visual pathway damage, which affects the normal development of visual function. Nystagmus can also lead to the recurrence of amblyopia. Currently, there is no effective treatment for congenital amblyopia, and even with timely eye exercises, vision may not fully recover. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water daily.
