Do children with strabismus have amblyopia? What should I do if my child has strabismus and amblyopi

Strabismus is when two eyes cannot look at the same place, one eye is fixed, and the other eye may look inward, outward, up or down. We can see a complete three-dimensional image mainly because the information received by the brain is consistent, and strabismus is likely to cause visual confusion or double vision, and in the long run, the brain learns to ignore the image seen by the strabismic eye. There is a principle called "use in and waste out", if strabismus is not early, the image seen by the eye with strabismus will always be ignored, and amblyopia will appear.

If you don't have a good time before the age of 12**, it is almost impossible for your vision to return to normal.

Some strabismus can be corrected**, while others require surgery**. In most cases, the prognosis is better after prompting**. If parents and friends find that their children are suspected of strabismus, it is recommended to go to the hospital for professional diagnosis.

Strabismus tends to cause amblyopia, but not all children with strabismus have amblyopia.

In terms of appearance, because strabismus affects the beauty of children's appearance, children with strabismus are often nicknamed, which casts a shadow on children's psychological development, resulting in their loneliness, low self-esteem and abnormal psychology. There are also some patients with paralytic strabismus, due to ophthalmoplegia, often use some special head positions such as eccentric and side face to overcome the discomfort of vision, which is called "compensatory head position" in medicine. If not treated early, it will lead to deformities of bone development throughout the body, such as scoliosis of the spine.

In terms of visual impairment, most children with strabismus have poor visual acuity, and are prone to form strabismus amblyopia, even if the vision of the strabismus eye is normal, they can only use one eye to see things, and the field of vision is not as wide as that of normal people, and more importantly, there is no fusion ability and stereoscopic vision, so that children with strabismus will be limited when engaging in many professions, such as: driving, drawing, etc.

There is a possibility of a decline. Amblyopia needs to be consolidated**. Network training is one of the most effective methods for our amblyopia** at the moment. The child is interested and easy to cooperate**. If your home has Internet access, it is recommended to use the Internet for your child to train, see for details.

Good luck to you

There was one in our class, and he was originally amblyopia.

If your child has strabismus, it may cause amblyopia.

It is usually due to strabismus caused by amblyopia.

The other thing is trauma.

In today's society, many children often swim in the knowledge of books because of excessive learning pressure. As everyone knows, if they don't pay attention to the combination of work and rest, it may also lead to myopia in their eyes, which is very harmful to the body. Therefore, parents must teach their children in daily life to pay attention to eye protection, and not to cause amblyopia and strabismus due to homework, which is very bad for future growth and development.

So how to correct strabismus in children? <>

1. Pay attention to the distance from booksMany children will lie their heads very low when writing homework, and the posture of writing is not standardized, which will cause great damage to the eyes in the long run, and this damage is irreversible. When you grow up, it will also bring a lot of unnecessary trouble, and it will be too late to regret it at that time. Because many children nowadays are also very stressed, they have to complete their own homework, and sometimes they have to complete additional homework in order to improve their grades.

Therefore, it is recommended that schools should also reduce the burden on children so that they can have a happy childhood. <>

2. Pay attention to the combination of work and restMany children have dreams in their hearts, and they continue to work hard in order to complete their dreams, without paying attention to sports. In fact, if you study often without exercising, it is very bad for the body, we must pay attention to the combination of work and rest, so that the learning efficiency will be higher, and the body will also exercise. Don't end up with no improvement in your grades and make your eyes short-sighted, which is a very cost-effective approach.

3. Parents should also pay attention to their children's eye problems when they go to the eye hospital to check their children's eye problems, and should go to the eye hospital regularly to check the child's vision, and if they find that there is an increase, they should take immediate measures. And you can ask the doctor for relevant advice, they have rich experience and rich professional knowledge, and they are very familiar with pediatric eye problems.

The method of correction is that you can go to the hospital for correction, you can also do some eye exercises for correction, you can also do some massage on the eyes every day, and you can also wear some corrective eye machines for correction, these are all correction methods.

In this case, they will first be corrected by wearing glasses, and finally according to some conditions of the child's eyes, it will be carried out by surgery**, and the surgical plan and equipment selected are also different.

Under normal circumstances, the child will be given a pair of glasses, and then slowly corrected for him, and secondly, it can also be done at one time by doing surgery, but there is a certain risk.

You can wear corrective glasses, or you can cover it, or suppress it, and assist**, these methods can play a corrective role.

Amblyopia is mainly before the age of 12, and the most advanced is before the age of 7. In addition to the doctor's examination and guidance, the cooperation of children and parents is also needed, otherwise it will not only get half the result, but also may give up halfway. Amblyopia is indispensable for wearing glasses, covering, fine operation training and amblyopia.

It can only be cured with the cooperation of doctors, children, teachers, and parents.

Normally, our eyes are in the middle of sleep and rest, it is not a positive eyeball, it is on the outside, it will be hidden on the outside, so what is this called physiological rest tears.

So what about our strabismus baby, if you have operated on him first, you have to have amblyopia. After doing strabismus, you need to give your child amblyopia. **The effective way to cover amblyopia is to cover, when you cover the eyes, what will happen, the eyes will return to physiological rest tears.

What does that mean? If you do strabismus surgery first, amblyopia, strabismus will definitely be you, so the principle of strabismus and weak nucleus must be amblyopia first. After the amblyopia of the two eyes is balanced, we will only have strabismus, for example, one eye after another, we must treat both eyes before doing strabismus surgery.

Both strabismus and amblyopia can be **amblyopia first, after the amblyopia vision is improved, if the strabismus is too large, it can be surgically corrected, or the seven-day rise is conservative**.

If the child has strabismus amblyopia, parents should take the child to the hospital eye department for eye examination in time, and then wear glasses to correct it.
