In layman’s terms, amblyopic eyes need to meet two conditions: there are causes of poor vision during the visual development period and not corrected in a timely manner; after wearing corrective glasses vision is also lower than normal level. 2, different hazards Myopia is only farsightedness when vision loss, not accompanied by other visual function damage, vision correction is not subject to age restrictions; amblyopic children not only low vision, can not be corrected, it is impossible to have binocular monovision, no stereo vision, the future can not be competent driving, mapping and fine work, affecting the choice of work.
