Amblyopia Therapy

Amblyopia, often called "lazy eye," occurs when one eye doesn't develop proper vision, leading to the brain favoring the other eye. Therapy typically involves patching the stronger eye to encourage the weaker eye to work harder, improving visual input. Other methods might include vision exercises or the use of glasses or contact lenses to correct refractive errors. Treatment is most effective in children, as their visual systems are still developing. Early detection and intervention are crucial for the best outcomes in restoring balanced vision. Regular follow-ups with an eye specialist ensure progress is monitored.
