Patient's question:
Male, 6 years old, my child has myopia. Recently, his eyes have been itchy and red with some blood vessels. After examination, it was found that the child has amblyopia. Is it helpful for children with amblyopia to take cod liver oil?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is ineffective because amblyopia is a structural eye disease. It is best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, wear corrective glasses promptly for treatment, and have regular check-ups at the hospital to replace new glasses as needed. Functional exercises should also be done daily to improve the correction of amblyopia. Additionally, it is important to avoid prolonged eye use. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal Grade III-A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Furthermore, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against colds, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
