Can adult amblyopia be treated and improved?

Patient's question:

Female, 29 years old, recently, her vision has slightly improved, and she can't see things clearly. When she went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it was mild strabismus. I want to know, how is adult strabismus treated and checked better? Can adult amblyopia be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Here's the English translation of the provided text, with the newline characters kept as they are:
"Regarding the treatment of adult amblyopia, let me explain it to you. The first step is to correct refractive errors. If an amblyopia patient has refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism, they should first wear optical corrective lenses and persist in wearing them. The second step is to moderately cover the healthy eye. Moderately covering the healthy eye can eliminate the suppressive effect of the dominant eye on the amblyopic eye, forcing the amblyopic eye to exercise. The above is an explanation of the treatment for adult amblyopia."
