First: the difference between astigmatism and amblyopia. In a simple way, astigmatism is a kind of ametropia. We can correct our vision by wearing glasses; And amblyopia, it is we match glasses in time, there is no way to correct vision to normal indicators, but there is no disease caused by the situation. Astigmatism is that when the eye does not use the adjustment, the light from the infinite distance does not form a focus on the retina after refracting through the refractive system. Two mutually perpendicular axes, that is, the meridian line, form two focal lines, that is, the refractive power of two mutually perpendicular axes is not equal. Astigmatism, we can wear glasses to him, and then correct the vision above the normal range. Amblyopia is due to the critical period of the development of the visual system, the visual stimulation into the eye is not enough, depriving the opportunity to form the image. The different visual input between the two eyes leads to the competition between the clear image and the fuzzy image, resulting in monocular or binocular visual impairment. Amblyopia patients, no matter how we give him glasses, there is no way to correct vision above 0.8. Amblyopia, usually when children are very young, can be detected. Those younger than six years old can improve their eyesight through visual training, while those older than six years old, training has no effect and generally need corresponding treatment.

Amblyopia, there is a kind of amblyopia, we call astigmatism amblyopia, that is, amblyopia caused by astigmatism. Astigmatism of the eyes, for example, more than 100 degrees astigmatism is easy to cause amblyopia, and we should be able to think of, the higher the degree of astigmatism, then the amblyopia will be more serious. Usually, if we find that we have astigmatism, we should go to the hospital for examination to see if it is accompanied by amblyopia.

Third: from the difference between astigmatism and amblyopia, as well as the relationship between them, we can see the implications of astigmatism and amblyopia. We often see myopia, amblyopia, astigmatism and even strabismus and other eye problems, are all related.

matters needing attention

For example, if one eye has amblyopia, it is likely to cause strabismus. If the vision is blurred, you should go to the hospital for examination and glasses as soon as possible.
