Patient's question:
Female, 10 years old, watches TV very close, says she can't see clearly if she moves farther away. Hospital check-up revealed symptoms of amblyopia. Very worried about the child's condition. What happens if amblyopia cannot be cured?Doctor's answer:
If you suffer from amblyopia, it can cause varying degrees of severe myopia, thereby affecting the normal growth and development of the eyes. Additionally, amblyopia can lead to poor visual function in both eyes or a lack of stereoscopic vision. It can be said that the harm caused by amblyopia is far greater than that of myopia, as it can multiple times damage the visual function of the eyes. In severe cases, it may even lead to poor development in children. There are many treatment methods for this disease, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to seek professional medical attention as soon as possible for detailed testing to accurately diagnose and treat the condition.
