What should I look for in hyperopic amblyopia?

  Doctors involved in ophthalmology would rather have their children have five or six degrees of farsightedness when they are young if they had a choice.  First, even with amblyopia is not afraid, because amblyopia can be treated well in time as long as it is detected early.  Second, there is a slightly higher hyperopia, the possibility of getting myopia in the future is extremely small.  The third, the farsightedness is gradually decreasing trend, while the myopia is a higher and higher development trend.  Fourth, there are no complications or sequelae after the amblyopia is cured, but myopia can lead to many complications if the degree is high.  Although amblyopia treatment is slow, it can still be cured and the course of treatment has been significantly shortened compared to the previous amblyopia cure. The parents’ desire to cure their children’s eyes and the doctors’ desire are the same, but you are not in this business and do not know much about amblyopia during and after the treatment process. Each eye disease has its own treatment rules, which cannot be changed by our will. All we can do is to do our best to get the best results for our children. In fact, it can be said that 90% of parents nowadays worry about their children’s eyes, only the period of worrying is different and the ending is different. The majority of amblyopia is caused by a high degree of hyperopia, and once the amblyopia is cured, only hyperopia will remain, and for children who are only hyperopic, parents can rest easy. Parents of amblyopic patients are worried in the treatment and happy after the cure.  The worry is only for two years, while the joy is permanent. Worry because parents of amblyopic patients do not know that children with good vision at the age of five or six can easily form myopia later; because they do not know that the best vision when the ortho-optic eye is only a passer-by in the transition from farsightedness to myopia, not a place to stop; because they only think of the child’s current farsightedness, but do not think that if farsightedness is not later, myopia will soon appear. For not knowing that myopia is far more harmful than farsightedness. Because parents don’t know that good eyesight is only temporary when the child is five or six years old, and good eyesight is permanent when the child is eighteen years old; ultimately, it comes down to parents not having a long-term, dynamic understanding of the changes in their child’s eyes, only thinking about the child’s current momentary vision, not thinking about what the child’s eyes will be at the age of ten, fifteen or even eighteen.  If parents are clear about the five “becauses” above, and if they can take a longer view of their child’s vision at age 18, they will understand that only farsightedness is possible after the amblyopia is cured.  The more you take the eyes of a child with good vision, although the child’s vision is very good at the age of five or six (better vision of the child only very slight farsightedness, the lower the farsightedness the better the vision, but at the same time, the closer to myopia, a little inattention to the eyes, will form myopia. Our young hospital staff almost every two months to bring children to the hospital to check how much farsightedness remains, afraid of farsightedness is not, no farsightedness means myopia has been knocking on the door), but because children are often exposed to electronic products at a very young age, heavy study load and other unavoidable reasons in life and learning, more than ten years old children myopia accounted for one third, high school students myopia accounted for more than 80%, this time It is the time when parents of children with good eyesight used to fret is the time when parents of children with good eyesight used to fret, and myopia cannot be treated, and myopia is rising year by year. Parents who have a sense of controlling the development of myopia, the child grows into adulthood myopia is much better. In contrast, amblyopia caused by farsightedness is much better than myopia because 99% of amblyopia found before the age of six can be cured unless the child is very uncooperative and the parents neglect treatment of the child.  Parents with monocular amblyopia may experience what I have said above a little earlier. The eye with good vision is more likely to be nearsighted, while the eye with amblyopia is less likely to be nearsighted. By the time the child is 18 years old, the vision of the two eyes will be reversed, with the eye with good vision becoming poor because of nearsightedness, and the eye with cured amblyopia becoming good because the farsightedness has nearly receded. Therefore, we would like to remind parents of monocular amblyopia to protect the good eye to prevent the good eye from becoming myopic in the future.  Therefore, children with amblyopia caused by early detection of slightly high hyperopia are relatively good and lucky, but you do not understand now, and will gradually appreciate that the cured hyperopic amblyopic eyes become good eyes when the child grows up, and that good vision at the age of five or six is only transient and not permanent, as evidenced by the high school myopia rate of more than 80%. The good vision at the age of 18 when the degree development is stable is the real good, permanent good, lifetime good.
