Analysis Of Psychogenic Behavior In Children With Hyperopic Amblyopia

ObjectiveTo investigate psychogenic problems in children with hyperopic amblyopia, we compare the showing of psychological behavior in hyperopic amblyopia with emmetropia's of children.Methods37 children definitely diagnosed as hyperopic amblyopia and 37 children as emmetropia were collected. Their parents complete two psychological invenetires, the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist and the Conneers Rating Scales. Two groups had divided into four groups as gender. T-test was used to compare children with amblyopia and those without.ResultsThis had adverse consequences for hyperopic amblyopia children's psychosocial well-being. Both girls and boys had the problems of social intercourse. While the girls had the problems of anxious syndromes and aggressive behavior, the boys had the problems of learning,attention,hyperactivity disorder,retraction,introversion and aggressive behavior. Although abnormal psychogenic behavior exist in children of hyperopic amblyopia, the values of change have not reach the standard of mental illness. ConclusionsGiven that amblyopia can affect children's psychosocial well-being, health outcomes need to integrate both vision and psychosocial implications of treatment. Although treatment should aim to reverse amblyopia and restore visual acuity, efforts to minimise any negative psychosocial consequences of treatment should be made.
