There is more than one way to cover amblyopia. In cases where a child who is covered with an eye patch is extremely resistant, there are other methods that can be tried, as Doppler Vision has also introduced to you before. Today, let’s revisit some of the different forms of amblyopia masking treatment. The most traditional and common method is to cover the amblyopic eye with an eye shield made of plastic or black cloth under the guidance of a doctor, forcing the amblyopic eye to look at things and increasing the vision of the amblyopic eye by exercise. Advantages: convenient and simple, easy to operate, low cost. Disadvantages: the eye shield can be removed at any time, easy to peek, affect the aesthetics, the child’s cooperation is poor. 2, eye patch cover Similar to the principle of eye patch cover, except that the cover cloth attached to the frame is attached around the eye. Advantages: easy to operate, moderate price, the child is not easy to peek, no refractive problems of amblyopic children can be used without glasses. Disadvantages: need to be attached to the eye, some children may be allergic, breathability and comfort problems, affect the aesthetics, children poor compliance. 3.Optical suppression By wearing overcorrected or undercorrected lenses on one eye of the amblyopic patient, the visual acuity of this eye is reduced to a level lower than that of the amblyopic eye, thus eliminating monocular suppression and replacing traditional amblyopia masking therapy. Advantages: High compliance and no aesthetic impact on the child. Disadvantages: It must be done under the guidance of a professional doctor, and the change in vision must be monitored regularly, and once the vision changes, the lens prescription must be adjusted, which has a certain cost. 4, suppression film cover similar to the full cover eye mask, is a kind of surface exists concave and convex texture of the glasses film, can be directly attached to the lens to cause ambiguous vision, to inhibit the dominant eye, forcing the amblyopic eye to see the role of objects. Because its color is close to transparent, it is not visible without careful differentiation, does not affect the appearance, and has a high degree of acceptance by children. Advantages: convenient and simple, high compliance of children, relatively easy to operate. Disadvantages: high cost, generally more than two hundred a piece, is an imported product domestic no, when the film is somewhat similar to the cell phone film is not very good sticker, vision improvement when you need to replace the film. Warm reminder: Any treatment method is not the more expensive is the better, suitable for the child is the best. It is best to choose a masking method under the advice of a doctor. Seize the golden period of amblyopia treatment from 3-6 years old, otherwise the effect will be worse as the age increases. Some children’s visual acuity is improved, but the visual function of both eyes is not restored to normal, such as no stereo vision and poor integration of both eyes.
