I am a 51 year old woman that has been wearing a thick left lense since the 6th grade because of Amblyopia. All these years even as an older teenager I was told that in order to correct this I should have been patched and worked with as a young child. A couple of months ago I went to my Eye Doctor and we talked about my lazy eye again. He told me he could help me. Last Wednesday I had eye surgery inserting an artificial lens and I am back at work today. My sight went from 20/400 to 20/40 in my lazy eye. It is amazing what I wasn't seeing and it it wonderful the things I am seeing. Crisp.....everything is crisp. I don't know all the medical terms for what my doctor did, but if you would like more information I am getting all my paperwork together and I will be more informative a little later. My email is peopleperson1@cox.net.

pls tell me how to cure it and tell some other medicines to cure this disease. I'm just 13 yrs old and im too young to be blind. as of now, im wearing contact lenses. pls help me...thanks

amblyopia is not a disease, and if you have that problem, you have to go and see an optometrist for some visual therapy coz unfortunately at your age its very hard to reverse it

please help me i have this disease so what can i do plz tell me the treatment?

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF AMBLYOPIA IS RELATED TO BABIES BEING BORN POSITIVE WITH STREP B?

That was a really good article on Amblyopia. It's important for parents to understand what their child is seeing when they have Amblyopia. Kelly H.
