Patient's question:
My relative's child is five years old this year. Recently, I noticed that the child's vision is particularly weak. I want to ask about the treatment methods for pediatric amblyopia. Are there any health checks needed at the hospital for this? Because the child is still young, I don't want to give them glasses so early.Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:You can use the occlusion method. This method uses three layers of black cloth as an eye patch to cover the healthy eye, suppressing the dominant eye from forcing the lazy eye to work, and the duration of covering is chosen based on the patient's age, vision, and type of gaze. The younger the age, the shorter the covering time. During the treatment for myopia, the doctor should check regularly. Atropine eye drops can also be used as an alternative to eye patching. To suppress paraventricular gaze and stimulate closed-circuit television function, gaze at visual targets (such as a cross or visible characters on a vision chart) twice daily, repeating 2-3 times each time.
