Doctor's answer:

First, carefully check the naked eye vision of both eyes before conducting the eye examination for glasses. How much can Pan Xiaozhen achieve? If the corrected vision of both eyes can reach 0.8, it proves that there is no amblyopia. Amblyopia can be caused by several factors, such as ptosis (upper eyelid drooping), strabismus, refractive errors, and refractive anisometropia. Amblyopia must be treated before the age of 12 or 18. You must first have a refraction test. If the corrected vision can be significantly improved, it is recommended to wear glasses.
