Patient's question:
Male, 3 years old. Recently, I noticed that the child likes to watch TV with his head tilted. He always squints when watching TV. Later, a hospital check-up revealed mild myopia and strabismus. Can a baby with amblyopia be treated and improve?Doctor's answer:
Children with amblyopia usually require long-term treatment. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a thorough examination to determine the specific cause of the amblyopia. Different types of amblyopia require different treatment methods. Early treatment offers the possibility of recovery. It is essential to induce the child to wear glasses when looking at close objects, especially during activities like drawing or writing, as this can often achieve twice the result with half the effort. For children with moderate to severe amblyopia, in addition to wearing glasses, it is necessary to persist in weak vision training and treatment at the hospital. Parents using amblyopia stimulation devices should encourage their children to draw diligently and strive for accuracy.
