In the latest 10007 of questionnaires collected in the Yiming User Information Form (survey form), 5883 children with amblyopia were treated with eye masks or eye patches (optical suppression therapy was not shown in this result).
Of these, 4501 children were partially covered. The percentage of partial occlusion (the number of cases with partial occlusion divided by the total number of cases receiving occlusion therapy) was 76.508%.
This means that before accepting the recommendations of the Yiming Expert Group, 23.95% of the children who used occlusion therapy still used the all-day occlusion program.
Twenty years ago, when
I started my medical career, 99% of children with severe monocular amblyopia were covered all day!
According to the analysis and suggestion of the expert group, about 90% of the 23.95% of the children covered all day do not need to be covered all day!
That is to say, only 2 to 3% of children with amblyopia need to be covered all day.
Children who cover up
all day will be under extra pressure of attention. Sometimes they just can’t express their social maladjustment, but they are under pressure all the time. Our mind is a container, it can not carry infinitely, when the container is full, it will overflow-either to resist the cover, steal the blindfold or steal the glasses, or to be depressed and depressed, or depressed and autistic..
This article does not do all kinds of covering/depression therapy professional science explanation, just want to tell parents that the vast majority of children with amblyopia do not need to cover all day. Maybe your child is suffering from this information gap!
Family rehabilitation and awakening
of amblyopia should begin with parents’learning.
