Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, the child's vision has deteriorated significantly. He was taken to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with myopic amblyopia with strabismus. He is very worried about this situation and wants to ask what should be done for amblyopia and myopia.Doctor's answer:
Children with myopia should first have their prescription measured to determine if it is true myopia or false myopia. If it is true myopia, early correction with glasses is recommended. For amblyopia, it is important to check which eye is affected. Cover the healthy eye with a cloth and recommend vision training for the amblyopic eye. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific condition 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.
