Patient's question:
A girl is 12 years old this year. She has been running back and forth to the hospital many times, but the results are always not obvious, and she has been getting sick all the time. Please ask: What is a simple, easy, and effective method for treating amblyopia?Doctor's answer:
Strabismic amblyopia often occurs in children due to abnormal visual experience, which leads to vision loss. There are generally types such as strabismic amblyopia, organic amblyopia, and amblyopic eye. Treatment methods include medication and surgery. Personally, I believe the simplest and most effective method is surgical treatment. Medication treatment, in addition to implementing training treatments like occlusion therapy and afterimage therapy, is slow-paced, and the treatment time is best between 5 to 6 years old. The effect is not ideal if treatment is started at 8 years old. It is recommended to implement treatment as soon as possible.
