Can children's amblyopia and strabismus be cured?

Patient's question:

Female, 7 years old, the child said that they can't see things clearly and have to look at them. At first, I didn't pay much attention, thinking it was caused by playing computers too long. Please ask; can childhood amblyopia and strabismus be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Children with non-organic eye inflammation and amblyopia, where the vision is below 0.8, can all be treated effectively. So, you should first find out the degree of your child's amblyopia and whether it is monocular or binocular. Then, use the monocular occlusion method to train the eyes. This is currently the most effective method for correcting amblyopia. At the same time, it is important to coordinate wearing glasses for correction, eat more fruits, vegetables, and foods that are good for the eyes.
Additionally, outside of treatment, patients need to maintain a regular schedule, take good care to stay warm, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water. Good lifestyle habits also help in preventing the occurrence of diseases.
