Special Needs – Amblyopia

Special Needs Guide

Amblyopia: Amblyopia is a condition in which one eye is blurry, and the brain only processes the normal eye. This causes the affected eye to keep from developing sight, as the brain begins to rely on the normal eye sight instead. A common treatment is to cover the good eye, and allow the blurry one to develop. This teaches the brain to process the eye sight. Eye drops that impair the good eye’s vision are also an available method of treatment.
