Amblyopia is a common disease in ophthalmology. The onset in childhood is due to the fact that the retina does not receive sufficient and effective optical stimulation at the critical stage of retinal development in childhood, resulting in low retinal function and lower vision than normal. There are many incentives for amblyopia, such as high hyperopia, high astigmatism, anisometropia, congenital cataract, congenital ptosis, etc. The normal vision of amblyopia patients will not show further decline. It is just that vision has not developed to normal. Therefore, if the patient reaches old age, it will not cause further decline in vision and harm to eye health due to weakness. Therefore, patients do not need to be too nervous. In childhood, they can undergo active treatment and do amblyopia training to improve their strength. Normal weakness over 12 years old cannot be treated, but it will not cause further harm.
