What Are the Different Treatments for Amblyopia in Adults?

Adult amblyopia, also known as older amblyopia and adult amblyopia, is an ophthalmic disease as opposed to "child amblyopia." Most amblyopia in adults occurs due to various reasons for missing the best time to cure amblyopia in young children. Due to late detection or treatment failure, amblyopia has become an important cause of poor vision in adults. According to statistics, the prevalence of amblyopia in adults is 2.9% to 3.2%.

Causes of Amblyopia in Adults:

Amblyopia, a common eye disease, for vision

(A) vision loss, severe amblyopia vision is 0.1, moderate 0.2 ~ 0.5, mild 0.6 ~ 0.8.

(2) The resolution of the optotypes arranged in rows is 2 to 3 lines worse than that of a single optotype.

(3) Amblyopia is common. If the side-center fixation is used, it means that it is not the center-concave.

With the development of science and the deepening of research, adult amblyopia is judged to be only a type of "sleeping of visual cells", which can be cured by awakening the "sleeping" visual cells. "

We know that good vision is not acquired congenitally. When a baby is born, the vision is less than 1% of that of a person. As the age increases, binocular vision cells continue to develop and improve. Under 5 years of age is an important period of visual function development, and visual development continues to 6 to 8 years old. If there is a cause of binocular vision disturbance during this period, the visual cells will not be stimulated normally, and the visual function will stay at a low level. Level, low vision in both eyes, can not be corrected, it has formed amblyopia; if only one eye can be used, ocular vision developed repeatedly over time, and the other eye that can not watch is stunted, and monocular amblyopia is formed.

Clinical experience proves that the efficacy of amblyopia treatment is closely related to age. The younger the age, the better the treatment effect, and the treatment of adults is hopeless. This is because children's visual function is unstable during visual development, which is prone to amblyopia and easy to return to normal. The child's visual function is in the developmental stage. The vision can be gradually improved through treatment. The younger the age, the better the treatment effect. Generally, after 13 years of age, the visual function has been developed. The stereo vision cannot be established.
