Can amblyopia be treated surgically?

  Many parents are anxious about their children’s amblyopia, which generally takes 3 to 5 years to be completely cured. During this long wait, many parents will have the question, is there not a quick treatment method?  The principle of amblyopia amblyopia is a problem in which the visual cells at the base of the eye do not receive effective light and clear image stimulation, resulting in poor development. Amblyopia is essentially a problem of poorly developed optic nerves, so people with amblyopia have no way to achieve normal vision even with glasses. Amblyopic patients not only have reduced vision that cannot be corrected, they cannot have binocular monovision, no stereopsis, and will not be able to perform driving, mapping and fine work in the future.  Principles of Amblyopia Treatment Amblyopia is the result of loss of balance in the input of stimuli to both eyes, which can have a serious impact on the vision development of children. The treatment of amblyopia, whether it is traditional masking, visual stimulation therapy, pharmacological optical suppression therapy, posterior image therapy, visual training, etc., is to activate the visual cells in the cerebral cortex by strengthening the stimulation and training of the amblyopic eye, and to open the visual channels to achieve the effect of correction.  Through the above introduction of the disease principle and treatment principle. We can learn: the so-called amblyopia, to put it bluntly, is wearing the right glasses can not correct the normal vision, is the problem of the optic nerve is not activated. The root cause of amblyopia is not the problem of refractive system but the problem of visual dysplasia. The problem of refractive system can be solved by refractive surgery, and the problem of visual dysplasia, like height development, intellectual development and language development, are functional problems. Only organic problems can be treated by surgery. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing. So here to mention with amblyopia parents and friends must not think that now amblyopia can not be cured, later through surgery to treat, surgery is not a cure for amblyopia.
