Patient's question:
Boy, 6 years old, my child has myopia, and recently his eyes have been itchy and red with many blood vessels. After examination, it was found that the child has amblyopia. How should the child be treated for amblyopia?Doctor's answer:
Treatment with Glasses: The first step in treating amblyopia is to correct the child's refractive errors, as the majority of amblyopia is caused by astigmatism, myopia, or strabismus. Glasses can correct these refractive errors, making images clear, just like adjusting the focus of the eyes. This is the foundation for treating amblyopia. It is best to have the glasses fitted at a hospital or an optician's shop with knowledge of eye health, as recommended by a doctor, to ensure the quality of the lenses.
