Abstract:
Amblyopia is a common eye disease that seriously affects children's eye health. The Chinese Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus has carried out a lot of work for the prevention and treatment of amblyopia, but there are still many problems that need to be paid attention to and solved in the amblyopia screening and clinical diagnosis and treatment. In this article, we discuss three aspects of the amblyopia prevention and treatment, including the timing of prevention and treatment according to visual developmental patterns, the standardized treatment of amblyopia, overdiagnosis and commercialization, and the establishment of an efficient amblyopia screening system, for providing guidance for the standardization of clinical practice and improving the level of amblyopia prevention and treatment in China.
