When is the best treatment period for amblyopia in children? In the vision census, "peeking" is probably the best way for children with monocular amblyopia to pass the vision examination. This kind of bewildering "normal" often conceals the children's actual eye diseases and vision problems. Its harmfulness is not only impaired vision and affects the beauty of appearance, but also the lack of binocular vision and perfect stereo vision, so that they can't be competent for the fine work requiring normal stereo vision in the future. Once they miss the opportunity of treatment (before the age of 6 is the best treatment period for amblyopia), It's too late to repent, and it's worth parents' attention.
Children's ophthalmologists pointed out that 0-6 years old is the period of children's eye development. Vision problems can be roughly divided into hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism, amblyopia, strabismus, the first three can cause amblyopia.
The early symptoms of amblyopia include squinting, strabismus and wrestling many times when walking
Usually parents should pay more attention to the children's eye health, such as whether the children are a little slow, slower than their peers? Do you like to squint and frown when you look at things? Do you feel sore eyes? Do you feel blurred in front of your eyes and the scenery shaking? If there are such cases, it is best to take children to the hospital for professional examination. If conditions permit, it is the best choice to come to the hospital for a vision examination every six months.
Amblyopia is a kind of functional disease in children, the best treatment time is in preschool (3-6 years old). The main reason is that the sensitive period of children's visual development is before 6 years old, 7-12 years old belongs to the plastic period, after 12 years old belongs to the non plastic period, in other words, the chance of vision recovery is very small. Experts also stressed that children in kindergarten should have visual examination, early detection of amblyopia children, no matter what kind of problem, the key lies in early detection, from childhood to regular hospital treatment, mydriasis optometry, timely correction of ametropia.
Experts stressed: the treatment of amblyopia is long-term, to combine family training and hospital training. For children with amblyopia, we should do special 'cover' amblyopia training, that is, wear appropriate glasses, cover the eyes with normal vision, so that children can only use the eyes with amblyopia to see, and slowly exercise their vision. This is because the eyes, like other organs, are used in advance or disuse. Children with monocular amblyopia often only use their normal eyes to see things. If the eyes of amblyopia do not get exercise, they will only aggravate the disease.
