Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, always can't see things clearly, seeing people is all like a mosaic. After a check-up, the vision test said there is a condition of mild strabismus. Please ask: what should be done about the child's amblyopia and astigmatism?Doctor's answer:
Strabismus can be treated with the monocular occlusion method. Cover the better eye for about 3 days, then switch to covering the eye for 1 day. This can effectively and significantly improve the condition. For astigmatism, wearing astigmatism glasses is recommended because the more severe the astigmatism, the worse the will be. It is advised to consult with an ophthalmology hospital for the best method. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water daily.
