As age increases, improving vision becomes more challenging, so early treatment is crucial.

The first step is to address the cause of amblyopia, such as correcting refractive errors with full-time glasses wearing. This is followed by patching therapy, which involves covering the stronger eye to encourage the use of the weaker eye.

The duration of treatment can range from months to years, depending on factors such as the initial vision level, the age at which patching begins, and the compliance to the treatment plan.

Most children experience significant vision improvement with amblyopia treatment.
