What Causes Lazy Eye?
10. Long-Term Outlook
Early diagnosis and proper treatment are the best options for children to preserve their vision. Amblyopia is difficult to treat once the child is older than 9 years. That is why it is very important to examine your child’s eyes as early as possible. Follow the treatment plan as directed, and discuss with the doctor the best practices to improve the strength of your child’s eyes.
Most kids do not like eye patches even if they make them look funny and adorable. Therefore, discuss with your doctor to find out if atropine drops can be used instead. In general, lazy eye can be treated and the patient can lead a normal life.
