Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, my child has myopia, and recently his eyes are itchy and red with some blood vessels. After examination, it was said that the child has amblyopia. How should we deal with amblyopia and astigmatism?Doctor's answer:
Methods of treating amblyopia must be selected one by one under the guidance of a specialist doctor, but the prerequisite is that additional careful examination and refraction must be conducted. The most appropriate treatment method should be chosen based on the nature of amblyopia and the specific condition of the patient. Currently, the general treatment methods for amblyopia include:1. Correcting refractive errors: Making objects appear clearly on the retina is the key first step in treating amblyopia. Before prescribing glasses, atropine dilation must be used for refraction to obtain accurate prescription measurements, followed by appropriate therapeutic lenses.
2. Magnetic resonance therapy: Using an amblyopia magnetic resonance therapy device to stabilize local blood supply in the eye and relieve visual fatigue. It can control the progression of myopia in adolescents and slow down the recovery time for amblyopia.
