Most parents don’t know their child has amblyopia

  According to some data, the prevalence of amblyopia in children is now 3 to 5 percent, but most parents fail to detect it in time. Amblyopia experts say that parents can easily detect strabismus because of its effect on appearance, but monocular amblyopia (one eye with normal vision and one with poor vision) is very difficult to detect in life. If it is delayed when you are young, your vision will not improve when you grow up, no matter what glasses you wear, and it is untreatable as an adult, which has a great impact on employment. Therefore, the earlier the treatment of strabismus and amblyopia, the better. 3 to 6 years old is the vision sensitive period and the best correction effect. In addition, the treatment of strabismus and amblyopia is a long-term process, requiring one to two years of training time, during which the parents’ attention and the child’s cooperation are crucial.  Ms. Xu’s son had congenital amblyopia in his left eye, but it was never detected. It wasn’t until her son was 12 years old that he was doing his homework at home one night and yelled, “Mom, I’m covering my right eye and I can’t see anything in my left eye.” She took her son to the hospital overnight and was diagnosed with amblyopia, and was told that amblyopia in children over 10 years old was poorly treated and there was little hope of correcting it. She was dumbfounded, remembering that her child had occasionally said that his eyes were blurry and that he had a poor sense of three-dimensional drawing, which she had overlooked. The carelessness and carelessness made her cry with frustration. She later learned that Puyang Eye Hospital had cured many children with strabismus and amblyopia, so she brought her son to the hospital for treatment. The doctor developed a series of training programs to improve his vision, and after a year and a half of active encouragement and training treatment, her son’s amblyopia was cured and is now in the final stage of training.  The doctor warned the parents that because the child is young, he or she will not be able to detect and express poor vision, so they can only rely on parents to detect eye abnormalities early by careful detection or early examination. If you find that your child is reading and watching TV with a tilted head, or looking closer and closer, squinting eyes, fear of light, etc., you should seek medical attention as soon as possible and seek early treatment, so as not to leave your child with irreparable regrets.
