The difference between myopia and amblyopia
Myopia and amblyopia are two common diseases in children's ophthalmology. Although both are related to vision, they have obvious differences. Myopia refers to the blurring of the eyes when looking at distant objects, while amblyopia is due to poor vision in early childhood, which cannot be corrected by wearing glasses. The following will give relevant suggestions on the treatment, prevention measures, hospital selection and medical technology of myopia and amblyopia.
Treatment and prevention of myopia
The treatment of myopia mainly includes wearing glasses, using corneal shaping glasses and laser surgery. Wearing glasses is the most common way to correct myopia, and vision can be improved through correction degree. Corneal shaping lens is a special contact lens that can be used in sleep to correct vision by changing the shape of the cornea. Eye laser surgery is suitable for older patients with stable degree. The purpose of correcting vision is to change corneal curvature through laser technology.
In addition to treatment, prevention is also key. At present, the prevention and control of myopia mainly depends on healthy living habits and scientific eye environment. For example, regular rest, keeping away from the electronic screen, and maintaining the correct eye distance are all effective measures to prevent myopia. In addition, outdoor sports and eating more vegetables and fruits can also contribute to eye health.
Treatment and prevention of amblyopia
The treatment of amblyopia mainly includes routine ophthalmic drug treatment, corrected vision and visual function rehabilitation training. Routine ophthalmic drug treatment includes the use of drugs to stimulate the visual development of children's eyes and improve their vision. Correction of vision is to improve children's vision by wearing special glasses or contact lenses. Visual function rehabilitation training refers to a series of eye exercises and visual training for amblyopic children to enhance their visual function.
To prevent amblyopia, the key lies in early identification and intervention. Parents should take their children for eye examinations regularly to find and treat any visual problems as soon as possible. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that children have enough time for outdoor activities, avoid using their eyes for a long time and close distance, and develop a good habit of using their eyes.
How to choose Shanghai Eye Hospital

In addition, the hospital environment where children travel together is also a factor to be considered, and a friendly and comfortable hospital for children should be selected.
summary
Myopia and amblyopia are common diseases in children's ophthalmology, which have an important impact on children's vision development. The treatment and prevention of myopia and amblyopia need the joint efforts of parents and doctors. Choosing a suitable ophthalmic hospital is also the key to ensure the treatment effect.
