How is amblyopia (lazy eye) treated?

0

Treatment for amblyopia is aimed at making the affected eye work to catch up with the dominant eye. This can be done by blocking the strong eye with an eye patch or a dark contact lens (occlusion) or by blurring the dominant eye with eyedrops or glasses (penalization). This causes the brain to use the weak eye. Over time, this usually corrects the vision in the weak eye.
