Patient's question:
Male, 6 years old, the child's vision has deteriorated significantly. He was taken to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with amblyopia caused by myopia and strabismus. He is very worried about this situation and wants to ask why the amblyopia improved but the degree of myopia did not decrease.Doctor's answer:
Rehabilitation for amblyopia refers to correcting vision, meaning normal corrected vision with glasses. Treatment for myopia aims to significantly improve uncorrected vision, requiring uncorrected vision to reach a normal level of 1.0 without the need for glasses to clearly see, in order to discontinue glasses and achieve the clinical diagnostic effect of treating myopia. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Grade III-A hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water daily.
