Patient's question:
Doctor, what are the good methods to correct pediatric myopia and amblyopia? This condition has been present for some time, and I'm hesitant to give medication. Please provide some advice.Doctor's answer:
The Best Treatment for Amblyopia: 1. Conduct a comprehensive examination for all children with refractive errors, including visual acuity, eye position, refractive media, fundus, and fixation characteristics. A minority of children undergo orthoptics and electroretinogram tests. First, perform computerized refraction, followed by cycloplegia, refraction, and computerized refraction. After 20 days, glasses are used to correct refractive errors. 2. Covering or suppression therapy treats monocular amblyopia by covering the healthy eye, not covering both eyes for binocular amblyopia. After 8 weeks of comprehensive treatment, we covered the healthy eye. The coverage ratio is 7:1 or 10:1. Binocular vision is checked monthly, and the coverage time is adjusted based on changes.
