What is the remedy for amblyopia?

Amblyopia, also known as "lazy eye," is a condition in which one eye has reduced vision that cannot be corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses alone. The most common treatment for amblyopia is occlusion therapy, which involves patching the stronger eye to force the weaker eye to work harder and develop properly. Other treatments may include vision therapy, which involves a series of exercises designed to improve the weaker eye's vision and coordination, and/or atropine drops, which are used to temporarily blur the vision in the stronger eye. Early detection and treatment of amblyopia are important to ensure the best possible vision outcome.
