Amblyopia: the condition, the challenge and the cure.

Abstract

1. Amblyopia needs to be detected early for the patient to have the greatest chance of total vision correction. 2. Compliance with treatment for amblyopia, while not medically complex, may be difficult both socially and emotionally. 3. Support and education, provided by programs such as Prevent Blindness America's Eye Patch Club, facilitate compliance and, therefore, the cure.
