When I was a child, I didn't realize that I was farsighted, but now I have become amblyopia, what should I do?

When I was a child, I didn't find farsightedness, but when I grew up, it became amblyopia, which is more common in clinical practice. If amblyopia has been diagnosed, treatment is required on a case-by-case basis.

1. Non-pharmacological treatment

1. Occlusion therapy: Occlusion therapy is a method to completely cover the vision of the healthy eye and force the amblyopia eye to use it to improve its vision;

2. Depression therapy: Depression therapy is to wear corrective glasses or prisms on the unaffected eye, and use optical principles to make the imaging of the two eyes fall on the same focus, so as to achieve the purpose of inhibiting the improvement of vision in the unaffected eye;

3. Fine eye training: improve visual function through fine eye training, such as needle threading, red drawing and other methods of training, which can promote the development and recovery of amblyopia;

4. Grating therapy: A special grating device is used to irradiate the patient's eyes, so that the light enters the eyeball through the lens and stimulates the macula to produce excitement, so that the vision can be improved to varying degrees.

2. Medication

If refractive error is present, atropine eye drops can be used to dilate the pupils under the guidance of a doctor, and then glasses or contact lenses can be worn to correct vision. However, this treatment is only suitable for patients with mild to moderate amblyopia with low degrees, and regular follow-ups should be carried out to observe changes in the condition.

Surgical treatments, such as excimer laser refractive refractory resection and intraocular lens implantation, may also be an option, but they will need to be evaluated by a medical professional before deciding whether surgery is appropriate.
