Patient's question:
I'm not sure what's wrong with my eyes, but sometimes I feel like things are blurry when I look at them. Some people online told me it might be amblyopia, but others said it could also be myopia. So I'd like to consult first about the differences between amblyopia and myopia.Doctor's answer:
From the perspective of the cause of illness and clinical manifestations, amblyopia is a disease characterized by slower and disordered development of visual function. In clinical diagnosis, it is primarily manifested as strabismus, high refractive errors, and wearing glasses cannot completely restore vision to normal. Myopia, on the other hand, is a disease caused by excessive tension in the eye muscles, particularly the ciliary muscles, or due to hereditary factors that result in an elongated eye axis, making it difficult to see distant objects clearly. However, myopia can be adjusted back to normal vision by wearing corrective glasses.
