What are the consequences of amblyopia?

Patient's question:

The child is relatively short in height and always sits in the front row at school. But recently, the child has been complaining to me that they can't see the words on the blackboard clearly. The doctor said this might be caused by amblyopia. What are the consequences of amblyopia? What kind of food should I give her to help her eyes?

Doctor's answer:

The consequences of amblyopia are that it can cause children to see things somewhat unclearly, affecting their normal development. Moreover, if left untreated for a long time, it may also lead to abnormal phenomena such as myopia or other eye conditions. It is recommended to visit a formal ophthalmology hospital for follow-up treatment now. Corrective glasses can be worn, and attention should be paid to the child's eye exercises to gradually adjust them. Alternatively, surgical correction can be directly performed. Daily consumption of foods rich in vitamin A can also be beneficial.
