Treatment of Ambylopia
Treatment for amblyopia involves the child using the weaker
eye more. This helps the eye get stronger. To make the child use the weaker
eye, he or she will wear an adhesive patch over the stronger eye. Most children
wear their patches 2 to 6 hours a day.
Treatment usually lasts until vision is normal, or until
vision stops getting better. For most children, this takes several weeks to
several months. A few children need to use eye patches until they are 8 to 10
years old.
