Patient's question:
Male, 10 years old, always can't see things clearly, everything looks like a mosaic when looking at people. After a vision check, it was said that there is a condition of mild strabismus. Please ask: What happens if mild amblyopia is not treated?Doctor's answer:
Children must be treated for amblyopia as soon as it is detected. If left untreated, amblyopia can lead to conditions such as strabismus, downgaze, and myopia, resulting in poor vision in children. The younger the patient, the more effective the treatment for amblyopia, and there is still a chance of recovery with early and consistent treatment. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Grade-A hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep the room well-ventilated, eat light and soft foods, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
