Can amblyopia be corrected?

Amblyopia can be corrected, and timely detection and treatment is usually very effective, and the earlier the detection and treatment, the better the results. Because the disease is developmentally related, children’s visual development is particularly rapid at a young age, and if intervention is given when development is rapid, the child’s vision will improve quickly. If you intervene at an older age, such as 12 or 13 years old, the best developmental stage has already been missed and the treatment will be less effective and may not be completely cured. Therefore, the earlier the detection and treatment, the better the results. Do not think that you can treat amblyopia through surgery. Because amblyopia is caused by abnormal visual experiences, such as cataracts, ptosis or strabismus, and refractive errors, it is important to treat the cause of the disease and cure the above causes. At the same time, functional training for amblyopia will improve the child’s vision. Only combined cataracts, ptosis or strabismus, strabismus can be corrected and treated with cataracts or ptosis, but amblyopia itself is not surgically treated.
