Patient's question:
Female, 8 years old, my child's vision has recently improved a bit, and she can't see things clearly. When checked at the hospital, the doctor said it was mild strabismus. I want to know, what should I do if my daughter has strabismus, amblyopia, and myopia?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, refractive errors not only affect vision but can also cause amblyopia in children. The treatment for amblyopia is related to age, and the younger the age, the better the treatment effect. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a dilated eye exam, usually using chronic dilating drops, to obtain more accurate results. Therefore, you may need to apply eye drops at home for about 5 days before the thorough examination. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Grade III-A 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, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of warm water.
