Patient's question:
Boy, 6 years old, his vision has deteriorated significantly. He was taken to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with myopic amblyopia with strabismus. He is very worried about this situation and wants to ask if congenital amblyopia can be treated to improve.Doctor's answer:
Whether congenital amblyopia can be treated effectively also depends on its cause. If it is caused by congenital cataracts, such as those resulting from pediatric congenital cataracts leading to developmental amblyopia, then removing the cataracts can significantly improve the child's vision. On the other hand, if the amblyopia is caused by a high degree of strabismus, wearing corrective glasses can gradually improve the vision. The key is to identify the underlying cause of the amblyopia. Congenital amblyopia also needs to be categorized based on its cause to determine the appropriate treatment.
