Which children are more vulnerable to amblyopia? 80% of parents don’t know

Abstract: the treatment of amblyopia needs to formulate different schemes according to different types, and must be adjusted in time according to the treatment progress. No single method can cure amblyopia., It would be a pity to meet amblyopia children who have missed the best treatment time because of their parents’ negligence in the clinic, and patients who inadvertently find that they have one eye amblyopia when they grow up. If only they could find it earlier, because amblyopia can be regarded as one of the few eye diseases that can be cured., What kind of eye disease is amblyopia?, There is no organic lesion in the eye itself, and the corrected visual acuity is poor due to functional factors;, Generally speaking, amblyopia is that there is no problem with the eyes themselves, but the vision is not good, and the vision with glasses can not be well corrected. It can be monocular or binocular, especially monocular amblyopia., Vision is generally based on the average level of children of the same age. For example, for an 8-year-old child, others can see 1.0, but you can only see 0.5, that is amblyopia; Or compare your own eyes. When the corrected vision of the poor eye is two lines or more worse than that of the good eye, the poor eye is amblyopia., The prevalence of amblyopia obtained from epidemiological surveys in different countries is not consistent. The research data show that the prevalence of amblyopia in China is about 4.32%, which is relatively high. The incidence of amblyopia has nothing to do with gender., Which children are more vulnerable to amblyopia?, Children with the following risk factors are more likely to have amblyopia.

encounter amblyopia children who have missed the best treatment time because of their parents’ negligence in the clinic, and patients who inadvertently find that they have one eye amblyopia after growing up. It would be a pity if they could find it earlier, because amblyopia can be regarded as one of the few eye diseases that can be cured.

amblyopia is what kind of eye disease?

eyes have no organic lesions, because the corrected visual acuity caused by functional factors is poor;

generally speaking, amblyopia is that there is no problem with the eyes themselves, but the vision is not good, and the vision with glasses can not be well corrected. It can be monocular or binocular, especially monocular amblyopia.

and

are generally based on the average level of children of the same age. For example, for an 8-year-old child, others can see 1.0, but you can only see 0.5, that is amblyopia; Or compare your own eyes. When the corrected vision of the poor eye is two lines or more worse than that of the good eye, the poor eye is amblyopia.

the prevalence of amblyopia obtained from epidemiological surveys in different countries is not consistent. The research data show that the prevalence of amblyopia in China is about 4.32%, which is relatively high. The incidence of amblyopia has nothing to do with gender.

which children are more vulnerable to amblyopia?

children with the following risk factors are more likely to have amblyopia.

① anisometropia: that is, the degree difference between the two eyes is more. When the difference between myopia > 200 degrees, hyperopia > 100 degrees and astigmatism > 150 degrees, the eye with deeper degrees is prone to amblyopia.

② strabismus: especially esotropia, amblyopia is more likely to occur.

③ ametropia: including hyperopia, astigmatism and myopia may lead to amblyopia. In particular, hyperopia or astigmatism with large degree will lead to unclear vision from far to near, which has a great impact on visual development. The incidence of amblyopia in patients with high myopia also increased significantly.

and

④ sensory deprivation: it refers to the problems of the eye itself, such as congenital cataract, ptosis and corneal opacity, which make the eye unable to see normally, thus affecting the visual development and causing amblyopia.

⑤ other factors: for example, premature infants, low weight infants and children with family history of amblyopia are also more likely to have amblyopia.

visual function is imperfect, and vision is easy to rebound.

in fact, amblyopia is not difficult to treat. As long as we find out the type and cause of amblyopia, and then carry out targeted treatment, general amblyopia can be cured. The treatment of

and

amblyopia needs to formulate different schemes according to different types, and must be adjusted in time according to the treatment progress. No single method can cure amblyopia.

and

also have this phenomenon in clinic. Some children have a single treatment, and their eyesight improves rapidly at first, but it will not be long before their eyesight begins to decline. This is the result of simply improving vision without improving visual function. Some children’s eyesight is improved, but there are problems with fusion function and stereoscopic function. Over time, their eyesight will rebound. In the treatment of amblyopia with

and

, we must adopt a comprehensive treatment scheme to stimulate and regulate the cells and visual function in various parts of the eye. When the underdeveloped cells are activated and the visual function is perfect, amblyopia will be cured.

for parents, they should take their children to have their eyes checked regularly every year. If they find the above risk factors, they should intervene as soon as possible. For children with anisometropia and ametropia, optometry and glasses should be carried out, and other eye diseases such as strabismus should also be treated as soon as possible.

for amblyopia, early detection and timely intervention are very important. If it is found around the age of 5, many children’s eyesight can be improved to normal through glasses, covering or training. Generally, the treatment starts after the age of 8, and the effect will be greatly reduced. Don’t regret later because of your negligence.
