AIM: To investigate the current quality of life in children with amblyopia and its influencing factors.

METHODS: Cross-sectional study. Using random sampling method, 178 children with amblyopia were selected as the research objects, and the Chinese version of the Universal Core Scale of Children's Quality of Life was used to investigate the research objects. The impact of amblyopia on children's quality of life was analyzed.

RESULTS:The quality of life score of children with amblyopia was(77.23±15.52)points. The results of multiple linear regression showed that parental education, left eye best-corrected visual acuity, right eye corrected visual acuity, coverage, premature delivery, hypoxia at birth and delivery way were the main factors affecting the quality of life of amblyopic children. It can explain 38.6% of the variance in the quality of life of children with amblyopia(F=15.242, P<0.001).

CONCLUSION:The current quality of life in children with amblyopia is at a low-to-moderate level. Amblyopia may have a greater negative impact on children's daily life, learning, psychology and social interactions. It is necessary to implement health plans and psychological guidance for children with amblyopia and their parents, improve treatment compliance, improve vision, strengthen health guidance for women of child bearing age, and provide reference for further improving the quality of life of children with amblyopia.
