Treatment of lazy eye (amblyopia) and treatment of strabismus are very close. Although in the past it was said that there is no treatment for amblyopia after 7 years, new research and clinical experiences have shown that the chance of treating amblyopia at all ages is possible with vision therapy. And this chance should not be denied to the patient (theory of neuroplasticity).
One of the major disadvantages of long-term closure of the healthy eye (to activate the lazy eye) is that, closing and depriving one eye of vision for a long time causes binocular vision disorders in the brain.
There are ways to treat amblyopia, the most important of which is vision therapy. Perhaps you are one of those people who experience good vision with glasses, but still do not feel the necessary comfort in your eyes when doing eye work, or you feel sleepy after reading, or you experience pain and fatigue, and sometimes you feel that you do not have the necessary concentration and understanding of the material in doing eye work. Treatment of amblyopia in young people and children is one example that can be treated with vision therapy. With modern vision therapy methods in the treatment of amblyopia, the time of closing is minimized and the experience of binocular vision is not deprived of the child. In addition to closing the eyes, during the treatment, appropriate activities are performed that can strengthen the relevant neural pathways, both monocular and binocular.
1- Continuous use of glasses
2- Covering the healthy eye as prescribed by the optometrist if vision therapy is not available.
3- Using foods such as liver, spinach, carrots, lemon, cantaloupe, mango, dried apricot leaves, walnuts, fish, egg yolks are beneficial in children with amblyopia.
4- Using vision exercises for lazy eye in the vision therapy clinic
5- Regular examinations until complete vision is achieved
The length of treatment varies depending on the severity of the amblyopia and the individual’s adherence to treatment. The best way to estimate the time needed to treat amblyopia in a particular case is to determine the results of vision analysis tests.
Amblyopia is very difficult to diagnose, the first step is to undergo an optometric examination.
Surgery is sometimes performed to treat strabismus, but amblyopia does not require surgery and can be treated with vision therapy.
Some vision therapy exercises are specifically prescribed to treat amblyopia.
Diagnosing lazy eye in infants is very difficult, but a series of specific tests can determine whether a baby has lazy eye.
Sometimes, the risk of developing amblyopia increases if there is a family history of amblyopia or strabismus.
