Dr. Wang Shuai
The main treatments for amblyopia (lazy eye) include the following:
1. General treatment: Develop good eye-use habits and reasonably schedule visual tasks, avoiding prolonged focus on electronic devices.
2. Refractive correction: Wear properly prescribed eyeglasses after an eye examination to ensure light focuses accurately on the retina, thereby stimulating retinal development.
3. Occlusion therapy: Cover the healthy eye to provide appropriate visual stimulation to the amblyopic eye, promoting recovery of binocular vision function.
4. Medication: Use drugs such as levodopa tablets or fluoxetine hydrochloride dispersible tablets to regulate retinal and central visual functions.
5. Surgical treatment: If symptoms do not improve with the above methods, laser surgery may be considered, but only under the guidance of a physician.
