Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, my child always says he can't see the blackboard clearly, and he says things have double vision. Later, it was found that he has mild strabismus. What should be done if he gets mild amblyopia?Doctor's answer:
Strabismus is a common ophthalmic disease in children. It poses significant harm, and if left untreated, it can lead to deafness. Currently, there are two treatment methods: conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Conservative treatment includes methods such as occlusion therapy and afterimage therapy, which can significantly improve the corrected vision of the weak eye. Alternatively, early surgical intervention can be performed, with the best results typically achieved around the age of 5 to 6. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold and keep warm, consume light and soft foods in their daily diet, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
