1.What is amblyopia? Amblyopia is defined as amblyopia in which there is no obvious organic pathology in the eye and the corrected visual acuity is ≤0.8. 2.What are the common treatment methods for amblyopia? The key to amblyopia treatment is accurate optometry, and children also need dilated pupils for optometry and appropriate glasses. (1) Traditional masking method + fine vision homework: Cover the eye with good vision, force the amblyopic eye (eye with poor vision) to see, and do fine vision homework at the same time, such as: training with amblyopic inserts to stimulate the development of the optic nerve system and make the amblyopic eye improve its vision. This method is simple and easy to implement and is suitable for strabismic amblyopia and refractive amblyopia with reliable results. (2) Visual stimulation therapy (i.e., CAM stimulator): the use of contrast, spatial frequency of different bars, as a source of stimulation to stimulate the amblyopic eye to improve visual acuity. This method is easy to implement, each treatment time is short, quick results, especially for refractive amblyopia, other suppression therapy, posterior image therapy, etc. 3.How can I detect amblyopia in my baby early? The best way to detect amblyopia is to check the vision of all children in detail around the age of 3. Generally speaking, parents should routinely go to the hospital for eye examinations if they find that their child is reading and writing with both eyes too close to the book, looking at people with one eye gaze and the other eye skewed, or looking at people with a tilted head. 4.What is the danger of amblyopia? Amblyopia is a curable disease if it occurs during the sensitive period of visual development. If amblyopia in children is not detected and treated early, it will lead to low vision in one or both eyes, seriously affecting the visual function of both eyes, leading to the disappearance of fusion and becoming stereo-blind. 5. Is it better to treat amblyopia at an older age or at a younger age? Many parents think that amblyopia should be treated when the child is older, because the child will know better and the treatment will be easier to cooperate. Some studies have shown that the critical period is within 2 years of age, the sensitive period is before 6-8 years of age, the treatment effect is extremely poor after 12 years of age, and the treatment is almost hopeless after 16 years of age. 6.Is it possible to stop the treatment after the amblyopic eye’s vision is restored to normal? Most parents think it is not necessary to treat amblyopia after it has recovered to normal vision after treatment. The restoration of normal vision in the amblyopic eye is only the first step of treatment, and later on we have to train the monocular, fusion and stereo vision functions of both eyes.
