Amblyopia is derived from the Greek word- Amblys- dull/dim, ops-vision. (Dull vision) Amblyopia occurs when vision is dull in 1 eye compared to the normal fellow eye. The brain adapts and uses the stronger eye and doesn’t want to see with the lazy eye.
So every patient who presents with Amblyopia can be offered some modality of treatment.
Since kids are incapable of expressing their vision especially if they see less in 1 eye, amblyopia goes missed. Treat early and avoid later disappointments.

This is a newer modality of treatment. Kids who do not improve with patching or who have outgrown the age of patching improve with this modality of treatment. This is a treatment based on the fact that it’s considered a binocular problem and the lazy eye is stimulated more while playing specially designed software games.
