Patient's question:
Female, 6 years old. The child says they can't see things far away clearly, and they also can't see the blackboard clearly during class. They are very worried that this situation will worsen. Is there a way to treat amblyopia now?Doctor's answer:
Strabismus is caused by abnormalities during the critical period of visual development in children, and there is currently no specific treatment method available. The treatment of strabismus is related to age, and it is not effective if the patient is under 13 years old. Generally, it involves corrective eyewear or strengthening exercises. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Grade-A hospitals as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water daily.
