The only correct and fundamental treatment is to remove the cause of the disease. For strabismic amblyopia, most of them have hyperopia, so we need to cover the eye with good vision on the basis of the appropriate prescription glasses in order to effectively improve the vision of the strabismic eye. Refractive amblyopia is a condition in which one eye has very good vision but the other eye has particularly poor vision. Refractive amblyopia is a binocular amblyopia caused by high refractive error in both eyes, because the vision of both eyes is poor, it is only necessary to insist on wearing glasses properly. For amblyopia caused by congenital cataracts and ptosis, surgery should be performed first to solve the problem that affects the light entering the fundus of the eye, and then if there is refractive error, then wear glasses to treat it.
Glasses for amblyopia, just like medicine and injections for the flu and fever, is a treatment, and is irreplaceable and essential. The reason why amblyopia is formed is because the object seen by the amblyopic patient does not have a focal point in the eye that falls on the retina, and the retina does not develop normally without the stimulation of light, and over time, amblyopia is formed. Light is as essential to the retina as oxygen in the air is to humans. Through the principle that glasses can change the position of the focal point of the object in the eye, the focal point that is out of the retina can be moved to the retina, and the light can be focused on the retina, so that the retina can be stimulated by the light to get good development, and the vision can be better and better. This is the principle of using glasses to treat amblyopia. From this point of view, the more accurate the glasses are, the more accurate the focus will be on the retina, and the faster the vision can be improved. Wearing glasses is the only scientific and effective way to treat amblyopia. For amblyopia, glasses are the medicine, the optical medicine. This is the reason why amblyopia must be treated in a regular hospital in order to get the best results. The first reason is to observe the improvement of vision after three months, so that the next step of treatment can be adjusted. The second reason is that the child’s eyes are developing and the refractive state is developing in the direction of orthokeratology, which means that the farsightedness will gradually decrease with age, so in general, we require half a year atropine pupil dilatation check to see if there is any change in refractive error, if the prescription is reduced but still wearing the previous glasses, the prescription of the lenses worn has been high, if not timely replacement of glasses will affect the treatment of amblyopia. Combined with training to improve the effectiveness of the treatment If you only rely on wearing glasses, the cure takes a long time, two to three years, in order to shorten the treatment process, our hospital introduced a targeted and fun amblyopia treatment system, according to the spatial frequency of children with VEP check and develop a targeted treatment plan,
Through the observation of a large number of small patients who have been treated by this system, the effect of one month can reach the effect of only wearing glasses for three or four months before, which greatly shortens the whole healing process and allows the child to take off the glasses one day earlier, so that the parents of the child can also remove the burden that has been pressed on their psyche for many years one day earlier. Parents pay attention to the patient’s cooperation Parents must strictly supervise their children according to the doctor’s instructions and cooperate with the treatment, especially for patients who need to cover their eyes with greater difficulty. The root cause of many cases of amblyopia that are detected early but not completely cured is that the patient does not cooperate with the treatment or the parents do not pay enough attention to it. To ensure better results, parents are reminded to clean their children’s lenses at least twice a day, once in the morning and once at noon. In addition, it is important to make sure that the child does not wear the lenses as much as possible, because the lens wear and uncleanliness can affect the transparency of the lenses and the normal entry of light into the eyes, which can affect the effectiveness of the treatment.
