   According to the Chinese Medical Association, the Chinese Academy of Ophthalmology, the national children amblyopia, strabismus prevention and treatment group formulated in September 1987 amblyopia treatment efficacy evaluation criteria are as follows.

Criteria for curing amblyopia in children：

Evaluation criteria for treatment efficacy of amblyopia are:

  1. Ineffective: including visual acuity degeneration, unchanged or improved by only one line;

  2. Progress: eyesight improvement of two lines or more;

  3. Basic recovery: visual acuity is restored to ≥0.9;

  4. Recovery: after 3 years of follow-up, vision remains normal.

Note: If possible, you can also receive other visual function training, in order to fully restore binocular monocular function.

  1.)Mild amblyopia: Corrected visual acuity of 0.6-0.8, need 1-2 years

  2.)Moderate amblyopia: Corrected visual acuity of 0.2-0.5 takes 3-5 years

  3.)Severe amblyopia: corrected visual acuity<= 0.1, 5 to 7 years

   1,) needle and bead training: children wearing corrective glasses, with a red thread needle or beads, each time 200-300 needles or 200-300 beads, to promote the use of close vision.To improve eyesight.

   2, )red light flashing stimulation method: children wearing corrective glasses, with amblyopia from the observation hole to see the flashing red light, 10-15 minutes each time, twice a day.

   3, )children treatment: inspection of children's eyesight can be children's visual acuity chart, or with different sizes of toys in different distances to estimate children's vision.The most accurate and reliable test is the visual evoked potential test.1-2 years old children are found to have amblyopia, can be under the guidance of the doctor, with 1% atropine ointment on the eye, once a day, for three consecutive weeks after a week of rest as a course of treatment.Check after each of the two sessions and decide whether to continue treatment.The above treatment can be sustained until children can cooperate with pupil dilation and optometry and wear glasses.The aim of atropine ointment treatment is to temporarily blur vision in the healthy eye, forcing the amblyopic eye to give priority to external objects and improve vision.

   The eyes are the window to the soul that we needless to say, but the high-speed development of the society to make electronic products gradually become the mainstream product, so the eye disease became our hard to avoid illness, we can do is try to protect our eyes, in everyday eat more scientifically useful food for eyes and learn to rest, you must pay attention!
