The "best age" for treating amblyopia is 3- 12 years old, and the "best treatment period" for amblyopia is 3-6 years old. In China, 3% of children suffer from amblyopia, and even as high as 5% in some areas. Children's amblyopia is becoming more and more serious. It is not terrible for children to suffer from amblyopia. After proper treatment, more than 90% children's eyesight can be improved and 80% children can be cured. But parents should remember that the "best treatment period" for amblyopia is 3 to 6 years old. Children in our country usually begin to have their eyesight checked at the age of three. When parents find that children often frown, squint or can't see clearly close, they should take their children to the hospital to check their eyesight in time. Once the child is found to have amblyopia, he should first undergo mydriasis optometry to understand the refractive state and go to a professional and regular eye hospital for treatment as soon as possible. It is completely curable to treat amblyopia in children by grasping the golden age of 3-6 years old.
Amblyopia can be divided into five categories:
1. Oblique amblyopia: diplopia caused by strabismus. In order to overcome the interference of diplopia, the cerebral cortex actively inhibits the nerve impulse from the macula of strabismus eye, thus causing strabismus amblyopia. This kind of amblyopia may improve vision after proper treatment in the early stage, but in a few cases, vision has not improved much after long-term treatment.
2. Anisotropic amblyopia: Because the degrees of myopia or hyperopia are highly correlated (above 300 degrees), two objects with different definitions will be seen in both eyes, and the cerebral cortex has long suppressed the objects with deeper degrees, thus causing amblyopia. Ametropia can be prevented if it can be corrected early. This kind of amblyopia may restore vision after treatment.
3. Blind amblyopia: In infancy, if there is corneal opacity, ptosis, congenital cataract, etc. Amblyopia occurs because the vision of the affected eye is blocked and the development of visual function is inhibited. Early treatment of the above diseases can avoid amblyopia.
4. Refractive amblyopia: Without glasses, one or both eyes are highly refractive, and amblyopia often occurs. This kind of amblyopia can be cured by wearing appropriate glasses.
5. Congenital amblyopia: including organic amblyopia and amblyopia caused by nystagmus and color blindness. Organic amblyopia may cause abnormal development of visual cells due to macular hemorrhage in newborns. This kind of amblyopia is difficult to cure.
The treatment of amblyopia is complicated and time-consuming. It should be done under the guidance of a doctor. The general principle is to eliminate inhibition, train macular fixation and fusion function, correct strabismus, improve vision and restore binocular visual function. Generally speaking, the treatment of amblyopia is related to age, and the treatment effect is better when it is 5 ~ 6 years old, but worse after 12.
When amblyopia is accompanied by hyperopia, astigmatism or myopia, glasses should be fitted as soon as possible according to the doctor's requirements. Wearing glasses is the basis of treating amblyopia. If you wear glasses instead of glasses, the treatment effect will be poor or even ineffective, causing greater harm. Second; Amblyopia therapeutic apparatus and computer software were used for comprehensive treatment. Amblyopia can be regarded as a kind of "vision atrophy" or "visual cell sleep". Severe amblyopia can only be cured by adding amblyopia therapeutic apparatus to exercise "atrophied vision" or awaken "sleeping visual cells". We can make use of the latest modern scientific research results, combine traditional amblyopia therapeutic apparatus with modern multimedia intelligent software, and effectively improve the vision of amblyopia patients through indirect vision enhancement (such as light brush, afterimage, red light flashing, etc.). ) and direct enhancement (such as meticulous work, visual stimulation, etc. ).
Treatment of amblyopia:
The best age to treat amblyopia is 3- 12 years old. Amblyopia treatment can last for several years at the longest; Attach some knowledge about amblyopia treatment:
One; Need glasses treatment. When amblyopia is accompanied by hyperopia, astigmatism or myopia, glasses should be fitted as soon as possible according to the doctor's requirements. Wearing glasses is the basis of treating amblyopia. If you wear glasses instead of glasses, the treatment effect will be poor or even ineffective, causing greater harm.

Third; Don't blindly and independently perform masking treatment. Covering the healthy eye When the visual difference between the eyes is more than 2 lines, it must be covered under the guidance of a doctor to avoid the visual decline of the healthy eye. Finally remind: the treatment of amblyopia will be a long-term process. Even if you see that your vision is stable, don't stop treatment in a short time, otherwise your vision may decline. You should stop the treatment after the doctor's examination. You can't make your own decision.
My child was diagnosed with amblyopia (0.2 degrees in the left eye and 0.3 degrees in the right eye) and strabismus (9 years old for surgery) when he was three and a half years old, and now he has fully recovered. My children used to go to our Maternal and Child Health Hospital almost every day to see amblyopia orthotics (there are four kinds of instruments) for more than an hour. Tired and hard, but it's worth it. After all, it is the same as normal people. I hope I can help you.
