护眼Q&A

本人儿子4岁半, 左眼远视100度, 右眼375度. 9月7日开始带眼镜, 9月18日往俬家眼科覆诊, 医生说儿子带眼镜后的视力仍不理想(只能看到第二大size的字), 写信建议去政府照脑电波. 而9月17日儿子亦有去政府眼科进行眼底扫描. 视光师只肯透露”有d 肿”, 叫我9月27日覆诊由医生解释. 我好担心, 俬家眼科都验不出儿子眼睛问题, 竟要照脑电波, 看视力与脑电波出现问题. 她提及这种情况好罕有. 请提供宝贵意见. 贵中心是否收过这种case?

If your son is suffering from refractive amblyopia, usually, the vision cannot be improved in 11 days after wearing the eyeglasses. Treatment of Amblyopia needs several months, some cases may also needs occlusion therapy.

However, the case of unexplainable amblyopia, will need to assess whether there is any problem in transmitting the retinal signal from the eye to the brain, electroretinography is sometimes useful to identify the problem. But you mention retinal scanning is another assessment, it should be an Optical Coherent Tomography, to assess the features of macular region. This test is to find out if there is any macular edema or abnormality.

Our centre does not provide ERG or OCT assessment, please wait for the appointment with the eye doctor in Government clinic.
