Scientific Studies Lazy Eye
In this video, Dr. Heather McBryar FCOVD from Amplify EyeCare Chattanooga talks about the amblyopia treatment studies (ATS) which were conducted in order to evaluate various treatment options for amblyopia. The following conclusion were drawn from the study:
● It is important to ensure the child is receiving the appropriate type of optical correction.
● For children who had a moderate amount of amblyopia, patching two hours a day while performing near tasks was just as effective as them wearing a patch for six hours a day.
● Atropine drops were found to be as effective as 2 and 6 hours of patching in cases of moderate and severe amblyopia. This makes it an excellent first line treatment or an alternative to patching.
Furthermore in our blog we share some additional research that highlights the importance of in-office vision therapy in combination with occlusion therapy such as patching or atropine.
We are proud to help pediatric and adult patients with amblyopia reintegrate their amblyopic eye and improve their vision.

    I have Amblyopia. Both eyes look straight foward,but my left eye is much weaker than my other. Unfortunately this was never diagnosed in school as a kid by the eye test 'experts' they brought in. I use multi focal contacts but my vision stillneeds help reading magazine sized small print.

    You’re absolutely right! Perfect vision should mean more than clear eyesight! In other words, don’t just fall for appearances!

    I got my lazy treated at the last minute when I was 7 but the eye lost some vision. Oddly a couple of days after taking kava kava recently the vision improved in that eye. I thought I was going blind because my glasses no longer worked the same but it's because the vision improved and I need a new prescription.

    Hey. I recently had a serious accident and lost my spleen and broke my femur. Also i got double vision when both eyes are open but when only the left is open, the eye feels shaky. But the right is fine. Is it solvable or should I give it time? It has been 2 months now. Thanks.

      Hi I know this is an old comment but I can only see 3 rows of the contrast chart as well and just barely make out the 4th. Did you ever go to the eye doctor about it and get diagnosed? Cos I've been to several and they don't know what's wrong unfortunately and why my contrast is getting progressively worse..
