Doctor's answer:

Pediatric amblyopia requires timely treatment, and if not handled properly, the harm can be significant. Generally, eye position correction can be done, and it is crucial not to miss the best treatment window. The optimal age for treatment is between 5-6 years old. If treatment is delayed beyond this range, the effectiveness of improvement will decrease, and it needs to be given more attention.
In daily life, it is important to enhance care, use the eyes appropriately, and maintain clean eyes to prevent overexertion and avoid staying up late.
In addition to treatment, patients should maintain a regular sleep schedule, take precautions against colds, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water. Good lifestyle habits also help in preventing the occurrence of diseases.
