Common Problems in Treatment of Amblyopia
1.Why should treat amblyopia wear lens?
People with amblyopia are often accompanied by amblyopia. The purpose of checking amblyopia must be dilatation and optometry, in order to accurately test the actual diopter, in order to match the appropriate glasses.And amblyopia only wear glasses to correct amblyopia on the basis of amblyopia training at the same time, so that clear objects repeatedly stimulate the retinal fixation center, improve visual sensitivity, it is possible to improve vision, so the treatment of amblyopia must wear a mirror.
2.Amblyopic children wear a mirror matters needing attention?
1.）When matching glasses, we must go through dilated pupil optometry. When matching glasses to the optometry shop, we should choose the appropriate lens frame according to different pupil distance.After matching glasses, it is best to check the glasses degree with the instrument in the hospital to see if it is consistent with the prescription of glasses.
2.）Glasses must adhere to wear after matching, uninterrupted.First wear treatment of amblyopia glasses eyesight does not improve how much, even some after wearing glasses eyesight drops instead, especially in the height of farsightedness glasses, these are normal conditions.Wearing glasses requires a period of adaptation process, as long as you insist on wearing glasses, vision will gradually improve.
3.）Regularly re - dilatation optometry, adjust the degree.Amblyopic children are in the development stage, the diopter of the two eyes also changes with the growth of age, so a pair of glasses cannot be worn all the time.Generally under the age of 3 years old children dilated optometry once every half a year, children over the age of 4 years old dilated optometry once a year, each time according to the change of diopter and amblyopia, strabismus correction, to decide whether to change the lens.
3.Does amblyopic child wear glasses to still can pick?
1.）This problem is the children's parents are generally concerned about, in fact, most of the amblyopic children's glasses, can be removed after growing up.Because amalgamative hyperopia is more after amblyopic children, this is, and as the growth of amblyopic children age, the development of the eyeball, hyperopia degree can be reduced gradually, the degree of lens also can be reduced, visual acuity returns to normal gradually, glasses were removed.Of course, if cure amblyopic children is during development, do not pay attention to use eye health, and cause myopia, that needs to match to wear myopic glasses again.
2.）Amblyopic children also need to wear glasses for life, which is only a very small number.Such amblyopia is usually accompanied by hyperopia of more than +600D and astigmatism of more than ± 2.00d. Even with age, ocular development can not compensate for severe refractive abnormality, and adults still need to wear glasses to correct their vision.If amblyopia in childhood is treated promptly and vision can be corrected, adults still need glasses, but it is much better to have them uncorrected when they are young than to have them unmatched when they are adults.
4.Can amblyopia be cured?What age is amblyopia optimal treatment period?
1.）Factors that may influence the treatment outcome of amblyopia include: family history (amblyopia and/or strabismus), infantile disease, type of amblyopia, primary visual acuity, refractive status, type and degree of strabismus, age at first diagnosis, and fixation nature.The original vision of amblyopia that is clinically verified (the lighter amblyopia is, the higher the curative effect is), so whether amblyopia can be cured is related to the above factors.
2.）Many parents think that amblyopia should be treated again when the child is older, and it is easy to cooperate with the treatment. This view is very wrong.The treatment of amblyopia is closely related to age, the younger the age, the better the effect.This is because children are in visual development period visual function is not stable, easy to happen amblyopia already, also easy to restore normal.Some studies show that the critical period is within 3 years old, the sensitive period is before 6 ~ 8 years old, and the treatment effect is poor after 12 years old.And the treatment of amblyopia is not a matter of a short period of time, is a long war.Preschoolers have more time to cooperate with treatment, and after school, certain treatments can be affected by learning, often making treatment difficult and affecting the effectiveness of treatment.
