Can my childs lazy eye (Amblyopia) be treated beyond age 6?
A. Specific types of Amblyopia can be treated with glasses, contact lenses, patching, and exercises. The results, however, take longer, and the end result may be significant improvement, but not to the 20/20 level. Early detection always maximizes the success rate, again stressing the value of eye examinations at age 6 months, 3 years, and 5 years of age.
