Parents in amblyopia treatment easy to overlook a few problems

There are many ways to treat amblyopia in children, but since treatment takes longer and costs more, parents usually prefer home treatment which is both convenient and economical. However, at present, there are still many problems in the home treatment of amblyopia in children. These problems not only affect the effectiveness of the treatment, but also make some parents of amblyopic children feel a lot of pressure, and some parents even lose confidence and give up the treatment of their children. So, what are the problems in the family treatment of amblyopia in children? 1.Only give the child glasses, not combined with other treatment methods Wearing glasses for the child is only a basic measure, which can’t solve the problem completely. To solve the problem completely, it must be combined with other methods of treatment, such as the use of visual training software therapy, masking therapy, etc. Otherwise, when the child grows up, even if he or she wears glasses, the visual acuity will still be very poor. In addition, some amblyopic children wear one pair of glasses for several years, which is also wrong. This is also wrong, because with the development of the child’s body, the refractive error will change, so the amblyopic children should be every 3-6 months, up to 1 year to re-optometry, if necessary, re-with glasses. 2, can not adhere to the use of masking therapy In some cases of amblyopia children in wearing glasses on the basis of the need for masking and then do other amblyopia training, and amblyopia masking therapy is mainly through the healthy eye or dominant eye of the masking, forcing children to use the amblyopic eye to see things, so as to eliminate the dominant eye of the inhibition of the amblyopic eye to achieve the purpose of enhancing the visual acuity of the amblyopic eye. It is a traditional method of treating amblyopia, which is convenient, economical and effective. However, many amblyopic children are reluctant to undergo cover therapy because covering the eyes affects the appearance of the child and causes ridicule from other children. Some parents, out of pity for their children, just let it happen. If you can not adhere to the use of masking therapy, of course, can not achieve the purpose of the treatment of amblyopia. 3, unrealistic corrective training Corrective training is a kind of training to make the eyesight precise, through letting the child wear beads, threading, tracing, etc. to exercise its amblyopic eye, so as to improve its amblyopic eye vision. But some parents are eager to cure, blindly training their children, attempting to let the child to practice hard for a few days to achieve the purpose of the cure, which is impractical. This improper training method of parents is mainly manifested in two aspects: first, the training time is too long. Some parents ask their children to thread nearly 100 needles every day, which takes quite a long time to accomplish. Amblyopic children are generally younger, training for a long time they can not concentrate, and will cause eyestrain, is not conducive to their amblyopic eye vision recovery. Their training time should be controlled at about 15 minutes each time. Second, the training method is too single. The same kind of training every day, day after day, the child will be bored. Therefore, parents should take a variety of training methods, if possible, it is best to use the fun Doppelvision network amblyopia training, in order to stimulate the child’s interest in training. In this way, the child will not find the training boring, but will take the initiative to participate in the training, and the effect of treatment is also guaranteed. Neglecting the training of visual function of both eyes Childhood is the period when the visual function of both eyes (simultaneous vision, fusion vision, stereopsis) is established, developed and perfected. If a child suffers from amblyopia during this period, it will affect his/her visual development, and in serious cases, he/she will lose the visual functions of both eyes and become stereoscopic blind. However, many parents of amblyopic children do not realize this. Often, they only emphasize on the visual acuity training of the amblyopic eyes of their children, but neglect the training of their visual function. As a result, the treatment effect of amblyopia is not only greatly reduced, but also affects the development and perfection of the child’s higher visual functions. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the training of visual function of their children, and at the same time of training their children’s vision, they should train their children’s visual function of both eyes. In addition, parents should bring their children back to the hospital regularly to check the development of their visual function and adjust the treatment plan accordingly. Failure to carry out the treatment to the end As long as children’s amblyopia is treated in time and in a proper way, it will receive obvious results, but it is easy to recur. If the treatment is stopped immediately after the effect is seen without consolidation, the vision of the child’s amblyopic eye will soon fall again. Many parents are not too clear about this. They often feel relieved when their child’s vision returns to normal, relaxing or even stopping the treatment, which results in the child’s amblyopia recurring soon. Therefore, the treatment of amblyopia in children should be carried out after the visual acuity of the amblyopic eye of the child reaches or is close to normal, and then carry out a longer period of consolidation treatment, and need to be followed up for three years until the child’s visual acuity has been maintained as normal before it is considered a cure. Warm reminder: The key to treating amblyopia in children lies in early detection, and the younger the child is when undergoing treatment, the better the treatment effect will be. In addition, the treatment effect of amblyopia is related to the nature and degree of amblyopia itself, the nature of attention, and also closely related to whether the treatment method is correct, whether it can adhere to the treatment, and whether there is any consolidation of treatment, etc. Parents of children with amblyopia should be fully aware of the importance of this issue. Parents of amblyopic children should have a full understanding of this, and then under the guidance of professional ophthalmologists, home treatment should be carried out for their children. At the same time, it is necessary to conduct timely review and timely adjustment of the treatment program, so that the vision of amblyopic children can be restored as soon as possible as soon as possible.
