Patient's question:
Female, 6 years old, the child says they can't see distant objects clearly, and also can't see the blackboard clearly during class. They are very worried that this situation will worsen. What are the causes of amblyopia?Doctor's answer:
Strabismus, refractive errors, macular hemorrhage, congenital inflammation, and other reasons may cause amblyopia. Most people with amblyopia are children. Amblyopia that occurs before the age of 10 can generally be corrected through treatment, while amblyopia below the age of 10 is very difficult to correct. It is recommended to take your child to an ophthalmology department as soon as possible for amblyopia correction to restore normal vision as much as possible. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal Grade III-A hospital for systematic and standardized examinations as soon as possible based on their specific condition to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
