Ask many people do you know amblyopia? Most people’s first reaction is: amblyopia, is not myopia?

In layman’s terms, amblyopic eyes need to meet two conditions: during the period of visual development there are causes of poor vision and not corrected in time; wearing corrective glasses vision is also below normal levels. 2, different hazards Myopia is only farsighted when vision loss, not accompanied by other visual impairment, vision correction is not limited by age; while 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.
