What are the good treatments for strabismus and amblyopia in 7-year-old children?

Patient's question:

My daughter is eight years old, and her eyes have some problems. Could you please ask: What are the good treatments for amblyopia and strabismus in 7-year-old children?

Doctor's answer:

Treatment for amblyopia in 7-year-old children is limited, and you need to get an ophthalmological examination and glasses for amblyopia treatment immediately. The earlier the treatment for amblyopia, the better. Strabismus may be caused by amblyopia. It is crucial to treat amblyopia as soon as possible. Peripheral central fixation indicates that his binocular vision has already formed abnormal retinal correspondence, making the treatment effect poor. Moreover, treating a 7-year-old child is already somewhat late, as their plasticity for treatment is greater around the age of 3. There are no other effective treatments.
