Amblinoia

Amblyopia (amblyopia; lat. amblyopia; amblyo- + other Greek - vision) is a refractive error caused by partial atrophy of the visual cells of the eye due to impaired circulation, innervation, long-term disorganization of connections between cells of the visual system. Amblyopia is often also called childhood myopia. Until approximately 3–5 years of age, the formation of the mechanism of binocular vision occurs due to the coordination of the work of both eyes through motor impulses sent by the brain. Subsequently, these mechanisms reach a certain maturity and become less susceptible to restructuring in the event of pathological changes in the visual system of a child with varying degrees of functional vision impairment. Therefore, surgical treatment of amblyopia is difficult and has not yet been developed; its effectiveness is not always high enough. This indicates the importance of correct correction of refractive error in childhood. Such prevention is necessary, since when a long-term vision defect is established, it becomes necessary to treat amblyopia, which jeopardizes the usefulness of preserving the child’s visual organ. It should also be noted that if in the first year of life the correction of amblyopia is carried out using non-operative methods, then the frequency of its development can reach 2-5%, and in some cases - 7-8

Amblyopia is insufficient function of the eye. When treating amblyopia, the various causes of this pathology are taken into account and a decision is made on the selection of appropriate treatment methods for each specific case of pathology. Treatment for amblyopia can only be effective if it is carried out in advance and purposefully begins from early childhood. Medication
