The common causes of amblyopia in children include strabismic amblyopia, refractive error amblyopia, congenital amblyopia, etc. Different causes are handled in different ways, and common treatments include general treatment and surgery.
1. Strabismus amblyopia: Amblyopia caused by strabismus usually requires surgical correction. After surgical treatment, amblyopia training, such as stringing beads, wearing buttons, etc., is also needed.
2. Refractive error amblyopia: amblyopia caused by high refractive error, hyperopia, astigmatism, which makes the child unable to form a clear image in the retina when he/she is looking away or looking at a close distance even though he/she is adjusting. Detailed optometry examination should be carried out, timely wearing of full-correction frame glasses, regular daily training for amblyopia treatment, and bead threading training can be carried out if necessary.
3. Congenital amblyopia: including congenital cataract and congenital ptosis. Those with congenital cataract should undergo cataract ultrasonic emulsification in time, and those with ptosis should undergo surgery to correct it. Amblyopia training is also performed after surgery.
If your child has amblyopia, it is important to consult a doctor and take regular treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.
