First of all, you should determine whether your child is pseudomyopia (such a small child can't be pseudomyopia) or amblyopia (even if the corrected vision with glasses is less than or equal to 0.8, that is, amblyopia). But if it is involved, it is necessary to treat it quickly. You must first understand what amblyopia is:

What is amblyopia?

Amblyopia is the loss of vision in one eye or both eyes caused by insufficient light stimulation entering the eyes during the critical period of visual development, depriving the macula of the opportunity to form a clear object image (visual deprivation) or the unequal visual input between the eyes (abnormal interaction between the eyes). Generally, there is no organic lesion in eye examination, and those whose corrected vision is less than 0.8 after cycloplegia examination are amblyopia, which can be regarded as a kind of "vision atrophy" or "visual cell sleep".

Causes of amblyopia

Congenital cause

Parents with high myopia will pass on amblyopia to their children; Incomplete development of intraocular tissue in premature infants is easy to cause amblyopia; During the mother's pregnancy, the fetus is malnourished due to severe pregnancy reaction, which affects the development of fetal eyeball and causes amblyopia.

Acquired cause

During the development of children's eyeballs, the nerve cells in the fovea of fundus macula can't get enough stimulation to gather clear images, which affects their development, thus losing the ability to distinguish fine space, causing visual impairment and forming amblyopia.

Harm of amblyopia

Amblyopia is a kind of visual dysfunction, which not only affects children's future employment and work, makes them unable to engage in promising industries, but also brings great inconvenience to life. What's more, it will lead to lifelong low vision, unable to form stereoscopic vision, and unable to correct vision with any glasses.

Treatment of amblyopia

The first step is to correct ametropia.

The key to amblyopia treatment is accurate optometry. Children also need mydriatic optometry to correct ametropia, wear appropriate glasses, make clear images repeatedly stimulate the retinal gaze center, improve visual sensitivity, and then treat on this basis.

Amblyopia training

Covering treatment: Moderately covering healthy eyes can eliminate the inhibitory effect of dominant eyes on amblyopic glasses and force amblyopic eyes to exercise.

Physical therapy: Red light scintillation therapy is a relatively simple, reliable and effective method. It uses red light with a specific wavelength (640nm wavelength) to stimulate macular pyramidal cells at a specific frequency to promote the improvement of macular function and central vision.

Light brush therapy: It is based on the instantaneous Heydinger brush effect. By using rotating blue glass, we can see a figure similar to an airplane propeller. This effect only appears in the fovea of the macula, which inhibits the central marginal view. With this therapy, amblyopic eyes can be forced to become central gaze.

Fine vision training: the key to vision development lies in application. Fine vision training is a good application and special exercise for amblyopic eyes, which is beneficial to visual development and vision improvement. It is also helpful to practice wearing beads, buttons, red paintings, sketches and calligraphy in the early stage.

The place where others introduce you may be better for pseudomyopia treatment! Amblyopia should ask the doctor over there to see how he explains it to you (whether it is professional or not).

You should remember that the child is still young, and if something happens at this time, the adverse consequences will be great. Be careful, don't go there blindly for treatment, check what's going on first.
