I’m almost 70 and have amblyopia in my right eye. Like you say in your video I don’t know what it’s like to see normally. I started wearing glasses for (myopia) during my freshman year of high school. But as I think back I should have had them sooner. Apparently a world renowned ophthalmologist in my area at that time didn’t catch it when I was young. From 1st grade on, during annual eye screening from the school nurse she would tell my folks about my right eye being (weak) as she put it. My Mom would, every year take me to this same ophthalmologist and he missed the amblyopia every time. Unless someone has it, it’s hard to explain it. During my annual eye exam I’ve learned to tell the eye doctor to project just one or two letters at a time on the screen and I can do fine reading them with my glasses on. But with a whole line of letters it, “confuses” the eye and I can read only the far left or far right letter and maybe one letter in the middle. I read somewhere that in some cases it can be fixed with eye exercises to some degree in adults.

Had I been born several decades later, I would not be blind in one eye now. I was born with something wrong with one eye, it was "weak" Don't need to get into it, but in the end I lost that eye. Now in old age facing my inevitable cataract surgery. Fingers crossed. Great message for parents.

Thanks for spreading the word... some of the problems I see are screeners/photoscreeners at the Pediatricians/school are ABSOLUTELY not adequate. Kids cheat, sneak, and want to answer the questions "correctly". The good news is that I get more referrals for wrongly diagnosed poor vision. Amblyopia is mostly a nasal to temporal motion processing problem. The role of cycloplegia is good for looking for eye diseases. Paralysis of the ciliary body is not a real valuable tool in my tool box. Unless they are walking around all day paralyzed. ;-)

The other #1 thing I believe parents need to be careful about is limiting screen use for their kids... When I was seven years old, in order to become myopic, I had to be nerdy and read books and avoid sports or other outdoor activities. But today your average non-nerdy two year old can easily become myopic by staring at cartoons on their parent's cell phone which they may be holding eight inches away from their face. If a kid is diagnosed with myopia, it may be just a temporary muscle spasm due to overuse of the ciliary muscle which the doctor mentioned... you can get the muscle to relax by taking he kid away from screens, no cartoons except on a large TV across the room, and get them involved in outdoor activities for several hours a day... need to try this before condemning the kid to a life sentence of glasses!

My 6 year old child had 3 different prescriptions from 3 different ophthalmologists. Dilated each time. The third one said the auto refractor should settle the discrepancy and to go with that. I believe the tools utilized make a big difference.

@DoctorEyeHealth 4 ай бұрын

I personally don’t trust autorefractors very much but they can be useful to compare to when a child is uncooperative. How is your 6 year old doing?

@val6872 4 ай бұрын

@@DoctorEyeHealth Good to know and thank you for asking. She's mostly cooperative. I plan on practicing the eye charts with her to help with any character/font confusions. Then returning to the opthalmologist to re-do the manual refraction. I once had differing prescriptions myself and wondered if it was because of different slit-lamps/environments.

There are a few options for high astigmatism. One option many doctors try to go with is the CooperVision Biofinity XR Toric, which comes in high power options for astigmatism. Otherwise, even though it may be spendy up front, perhaps specialty lenses such as RGP or scleral lenses could work, how old is your son?

Is the stronger eye always the dominant eye? In my case, I did an eye dominance test when you frame your fingers in the air around an object further away then close the left eye to check if the object moves or stays and according to that test my right eye is dominant however with my prescription my right eye needs more diopters than my left so I'm a bit confused. Would be cool to clear things up between amblyopia and eye dominance :)

@DoctorEyeHealth 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for asking!!! Eye dominance does not necessarily have to do with eye strength or power in any way. Your dominant eye can easily be the eye with a stronger power. However, if someone has a hyperopic prescription in both eyes, it’s not uncommon for the dominant eye to be the eye with less power. It is just easier for the brain to see with that eye.

Hey! The size of the eye does change with scleral buckle surgery. It’s normal for the power of the eye to change afterwards and for cataracts to form (if she has not had cataract surgery yet). I would encourage her to continue visiting her eye doctor as they recommend so they can monitor for any concerns or changes. Hope that helps
