Five problems that affect the effectiveness of amblyopia treatment

       1, not enough awareness Many parents think that amblyopia does not affect the appearance, not enough awareness of the seriousness of the harm of amblyopia, thinking that vision will also grow when you grow up. Often hold the wrong idea that growing up will be good.  Corresponding countermeasures: Do a good job of health education on amblyopia treatment, especially for the first consultation of amblyopia patients should be patient and detailed explanation of the causes and hazards of amblyopia, as well as the close relationship between amblyopia treatment and age, so that parents can raise awareness and draw attention to their children with amblyopia.  Usually amblyopic children’s visual acuity improves significantly in the early stage of treatment and parents are satisfied, but in the later stage there is often a “plateau” period of visual acuity growth and stagnation, and parents lose patience and confidence after persisting for a period of time and give up treatment, making the treatment half-heartedly abandoned.  Corresponding countermeasures: Inform parents that a period of “plateau” in the process of amblyopia treatment is an inevitable process of amblyopia cure, and after this period, vision will be further improved.  3.Return to the starting point When the amblyopia treatment “plateau period” and give up treatment, glasses and eye glasses are also worn and taken off, resulting in vision loss, and when the child has inconvenience in learning and life, parents suddenly wake up and give the child treatment again, which is the same as starting from scratch again, not only wasting money and energy, but more importantly This is not only a waste of money and energy, but more importantly, the best treatment period for the child is missed, making it more difficult for the vision to grow.  4, older children with amblyopia easily give up treatment Influenced by the old concept, children with amblyopia after the age of 12 often have the attitude that treatment is hopeless and easily give up.  However, with the development of medical science and technology and the continuous improvement of amblyopia treatment means, the cure rate of children above 12 years old is also increasing. Therefore, parents of older amblyopic children should explain the significance of their rescue treatment, obtain their support and cooperation, and try to save the future of one more child.  5. perfunctory treatment of amblyopic children The biggest stumbling block to the success of amblyopia treatment is the child’s lack of cooperation, believing that wearing glasses and eye glasses is for doctors and parents, wearing them in front and taking them off behind, and not seriously insisting on amblyopia training. Therefore, in the amblyopia treatment, you should do your best to get the child’s cooperation and reduce future regrets. Since failure of amblyopia treatment will affect the child’s life, it is the important duty of parents, ophthalmologists and ophthalmology practitioners to strive for successful treatment of each child.
