Currently, there are no clinical statistics on the cure rate of amblyopia above the age of eight. It is recommended that children with amblyopia should be treated as aggressively as possible before the age of eight, as treatment after the age of eight is not effective.
Patients with amblyopia have no organic lesions on eye examination, but their best corrected visual acuity in one or both eyes is lower than that of their corresponding peers. Currently there is a lack of data on the cure rate of amblyopic patients over the age of eight.
However, because the critical period of vision development is before the age of eight, if the child cannot be diagnosed and treated actively before the age of eight, the difficulty of treatment for amblyopic children can be increased, and low vision may be maintained for life.
It is recommended that children with amblyopia should consult a regular hospital in time to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid delays.
