Amblyopia 411
Amblyopia is the leading cause of vision loss in children. Each year, close to four million children are born in the United States. Research suggests that about 1 in 20, or a child in every classroom, is at risk for vision loss without detection and treatment of vision problems.
Due to the many challenges it presents, amblyopia treatment can be one of the most difficult tasks a family will undertake. Typical treatment involves penalization of the better-seeing eye with an eye patch or dilating eye drops with the goal of improving poor sight in the affected eye. Many times, and for many reasons, cooperation from the child is difficult. Families often abandon the treatment because it is too difficult. Amblyopia 411 seeks to provide assistance to parents to ensure successful outcomes.
