deprivation amblyopia is considered the most severe form of amblyopia.
Usually here in the states, congenital cataract has to be taken out between
1-2 months after birth, followed by optical correction (usually contact lens
) and extensive patching. Even with all this, visual recovery prognosis is
probably around 20/40 to 20/50. If the cataract remains there after 6
months old, vision will be worse than 20/400 in that ... 阅读全帖 |

病情： 女孩，1岁9个月时发现患有右眼先天性白内障（congenital cataract）
1岁10个月进行手术植入人工晶体。之后，右眼患有近视性的形觉剥夺性弱势（form

目前国内治疗方案：1）配镜
2）遮盖疗法：每天遮盖健康的左眼8小时，一周遮盖6天。
3）精细目训练：每天遮盖健康的左眼后穿针60根。
4) 红光治疗仪：治疗过一个月，但孩子视力有下降趋势，故停止
了。
5) 口服药物：一直在吃乐盯，每天一粒。
治疗时间：12个月
治疗效果：右眼视力无明显提高。左眼视力有近视趋势。目前小孩是3周岁。
恳请大家看看，先天性白内障导致的形觉剥夺性弱势在美国有无更先进的疗法。孩子一
天天长大，不像让她再次错过治疗的机会。非常感谢！ |

在美国洛杉矶华人聚集区之一的蒙特利公园市，一项眼科健康调查（CHES：CHINESE

奇怪的眼科检查
在美国定居多年的华人王丁（化名）参与了这项调查，现在他开始为这个调查感到百思

这一切要从9月说起，王丁当时接到CHES工作人员的电话，征询他是否愿意参加这项眼

It seems that you've already have the general picture. I'd suggest first
looking into options in China (treatment for cataract is pretty much the
same everywhere - surgery). You can also comb databases like medline to
investigate new therapies. Once you nailed down something that is
unavailable in China or better done in the US, then worry about getting your
mom here to see an opthamologist. |

However, you father do need routine eye exam to check the back of his retina
