What is the problem with amblyopia

Amblyopia is actually a type of eye disease without organic lesions. Generally, people with corrected visual acuity lower than 0.9 are called amblyopic. Amblyopia is more common in children clinically. Therefore, if you want to effectively improve and solve it, you should pay attention to eye health during infancy and childhood.

Anyone with no organic eye disease and a corrected visual acuity below 0.9 is called amblyopia. Amblyopia is a common pediatric eye disease in ophthalmology clinic. It is a state of visual dysfunction that occurs in infancy due to various reasons such as perception, movement, conduction and visual center, which affect visual development and fail to receive appropriate visual stimulation. It is mainly manifested as low vision and binocular single vision dysfunction.

First, attention should be paid to eye hygiene during infancy and childhood. Children's towels, handkerchiefs, and washbasins should be used separately from those of adults to avoid contracting infectious eye diseases such as acute conjunctivitis and trachoma. Children should be taught not to rub their eyes with dirty hands. Children should not be allowed to play with sharp and hard objects such as scissors and needles to avoid eye injuries.

Second, educate children to pay attention to eye hygiene. Children should not stand too close when playing with toys, reading comics or drawing. They should maintain correct posture and the lighting should be sufficient, not too dark or too strong. It is usually best to take the child to the hospital to check his or her eyesight when he or she is 4 years old. Once any problems are found, timely treatment should be given. When children reach school age, they should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and insist on doing eye exercises to prevent myopia.

Third, children are in the growth and development period, so they should be encouraged to eat more coarse grains, whole grains, vegetables and fruits, and less high-sugar foods. It is best not to eat snacks or be picky eaters. Children should also be encouraged to spend more time outdoors, take part in beneficial physical exercises, and pay attention to the nutritional supply of their eyes. Fourth, pay attention to preventing infectious eye diseases and systemic diseases. Many infectious eye diseases are transmitted through direct contact. No matter what eye disease you have, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time. Some systemic diseases also have a great impact on the eyes, such as tuberculosis, kidney disease, etc. Therefore, attention should be paid to prevention and treatment to avoid delaying the disease. amblyopia
