Amblyopia is a difficult challenge for physicians caring for these children. If detected early with screening programs, the prognosis for successful treatment is greatly increased. If missed, the child may suffer from a lifetime of poor vision in one eye. Children who fail a visual screening test should be promptly referred to an ophthalmologist. Prompt detection and treatment of amblyopia secure a child the best chance for a good visual outcome.
弱视对于照顾这些儿童的医生来说是一项艰巨的挑战。如果通过筛查项目早期发现，成功治疗的预后会大大提高。如果错过，孩子可能会一生单眼视力不佳。视力筛查测试未通过的儿童应立即转诊至眼科医生处。及时发现和治疗弱视能为孩子获得良好视觉效果提供最佳机会。
