How to distinguish between amblyopia and myopia

We know amblyopia is the condition in which the best corrected vision in one eye or both eyes is lower than that of the corresponding age, but the eye examination does not show organic lesions, which are caused by abnormal visual experience during the visual development period, while myopia is often caused by the increased accommodation ability of the lens or the growth of the eye axis, which causes the focus to be placed in front of the retina, so that things are blurred. Therefore, the pathogenesis of amblyopia and myopia is completely different, myopia will not show abnormal corrected vision, and amblyopia will show. The most common cause of amblyopia is due to high hyperopia. In this case, we must first go to the hospital to check what causes amblyopia. At this stage, monocular strabismus, high refractive error, anisometropia form deprivation is the most common cause of amblyopia, once amblyopia occurs, must be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible, if delayed the best treatment opportunity, will cause lifelong vision decline, so must be actively treated.
