Many diseases require the golden treatment time Once you miss it, you will lose your whole life There is also an eye disease Often occurs in childhood Parents may mistakenly think it is myopia Little do we know that if we turn a blind eye, we will delay treatment. Can cause lifelong visual impairment Come and see Standing Committee Member of Hubei Provincial Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine Ophthalmology Branch Aier Eye Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University (Aier Eye Hospital Group Hubei General Hospital) Strabismus and amblyopia Dai Hongbin, chief physician of pediatric ophthalmology, talks about amblyopia What is amblyopia? Amblyopia does not mean "slight myopia", but refers to the fact that when eye examination finds no organic lesions, the vision of both eyes or one eye after correction is still lower than that of normal children of the same age. In layman's terms, it means "you can't see clearly at ordinary times, and you can't see clearly after vision correction." Amblyopia is caused by various abnormal visual experiences during the development stage of children's vision. These abnormal visual experiences mainly include strabismus, refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism), anisometropia (different degrees of refractive error in the two eyes), and form deprivation (light stimulation caused by various reasons cannot enter the eye normally). All of them may cause amblyopia. How to detect and treat amblyopia? Vision is an important basis for judging whether a child has amblyopia. If the child's corrected vision is still less than 0.5 at the age of 3 to 5, and less than 0.7 at the age of 6, and there is no organic lesion in the eye, then the child may have amblyopia. Younger children may find it difficult to understand vision tests. Parents can judge by observing whether the child has behaviors caused by abnormal vision, such as often tilting the head to look at things, watching TV closely, etc. If a child is found to have poor vision or abnormal eye behavior, he should seek medical attention in time. The occurrence of amblyopia is related to the development of the visual system. Therefore, the treatment of amblyopia is more effective during the development stage of the visual system. 3-6 years old is the golden age for treatment. After that, as development stops, the treatment effect gradually decreases, and the hope of recovery in adulthood is slim. Therefore, "early detection, early treatment" is the treatment principle of amblyopia. Visual health affects children's life |
