Amblyopia does not cause blindness. However, some causes of amblyopia may cause blindness in the eye, such as congenital cataracts. If not treated effectively, vision will gradually decrease as the opacity of the refractive medium increases, and eventually blindness will occur. However, this occurrence is very rare. At present, the medical conditions are relatively developed. Most amblyopic children can be screened out through child care examination or physical examination before admission, and can be treated correctly. As long as amblyopic children can be treated within the corrected age, they will not show blindness. For amblyopic treatment, the earlier the treatment, the better.
