Advances in Amblyopia Treatment

In this 30 minute webinar, Dr. Frazer discusses the common causes of Amblyopia and helps viewers understand Amblyopia as a brain/binocular vision problem and not just a "lazy eye" problem. She reviews traditional treatments along with newer and better ways to treat amblyopia than traditional glasses, atropine and patching. She also discusses how these new methods are helping older patients improve their vision well into adulthood.

Unfortunately not. Think of the vision as being in 2 parts. The first part is getting the image on the back of your eye. This is what glasses do. The second part is how the brain cells to do with vision interpret that image. The critical period for vision development is usually up to 7 or 8 years of age and any treatment usually needs to be done then. If reduced vision is purely down to a difference in glasses prescription between the 2 eyes then sometimes treatment works in the teenage years. Treatment involves blocking off or blurring the good eye to encourage the lazy/amblyopic eye to work and stimulate those brain cells. Unfortunately there is an age limit to when we can influence those cells. This is why it is so important for children to have an eye test yearly from 4 years to pick up any issues so they can be treated in the critical period.
