Patient's question:
The boy is 15 years old. After getting sick, taking medicine did not seem to be very effective, and he is still uncomfortable. Please ask: What is the best age for treating children's amblyopia?Doctor's answer:
Early detection of pediatric amblyopia requires early treatment, as the most effective results are achieved during childhood. Approximately 80% of children can regain normal vision. For children over nine years old, the treatment effect improves, and it is important to correct the vision early to prevent further deterioration. Seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's guidance for occlusion therapy. Mild amblyopia generally requires one year of treatment, while severe amblyopia may need three years or more.
