(Reporter Yang Fengli) Ms. Liang was recently troubled by the fact that other children of the same age were already walking steadily, but her son was still toddling and always falling over, making her anxious and distressed. After taking her son to the hospital, she went from pediatrics to ophthalmology and finally found out that the reason for her son’s late toddlerhood was amblyopia, because he couldn’t see well, so of course he fell over.

Dr. Wang Lejin, director of strabismus and pediatric ophthalmology at the Eye Center of North Medical University, said that it is better to find out that your child has amblyopia when he or she is more than 1 year old, and some parents only find out that their child is amblyopic when they send him or her to kindergarten at the age of about 3 years old for a physical screening of vision.
In fact, some small details in life can reflect that a child may have amblyopia or other eye diseases, such as the child is always tilting his head to look at things may be strabismus; children like to squint to look at things may be myopia; learning to walk children easily fall, afraid to take steps, toddler later than other children of the same age, may be amblyopia. For children, 0 to 3 years old is a critical period for vision development, but some vision problems at this time are easily ignored by parents. Therefore, parents are reminded to pay attention to whether their children have vision problems if they have problems such as looking askew, squinting, walking Louis and falling, and late toddlers. For amblyopia patients, preschool is the best time for treatment, the earlier the better.
