If the condition is detected early in life, and the best treatment is patching the good eye to allow the weak eye to develop normally and all the visual pathways to develop, if you don't catch it early though, and that eye becomes lazy or what we call amblyopic, then there's really no further treatment available later in life.    From Wordnik.com.  [CNN Transcript Dec 27, 2003] Reference

But as pummeled amblyopic kids everywhere know, the eye patch can take months to work, if it works.    From Wordnik.com.  [GayGamer.net] Reference

The more comprehensive penalty achieved with the plano lens was hypothesized to force more use of the amblyopic eye.    From Wordnik.com.  [MedPageToday.com - medical news plus CME for physicians] Reference

In the combination group, the amblyopic eye was corrected to the same degree, while the sound eye had a noncorrective plano lens.    From Wordnik.com.  [MedPageToday.com - medical news plus CME for physicians] Reference

Dr. Cotter and colleagues enrolled children from three to seven years old, with visual acuity in their amblyopic eyes of 20 / 40 to 20 / 100.    From Wordnik.com.  [MedPageToday.com - medical news plus CME for physicians] Reference

Explain to interested patients that amblyopia is typically treated by reversibly disabling the better-seeing eye so as to force use of the amblyopic eye.    From Wordnik.com.  [MedPageToday.com - medical news plus CME for physicians] Reference

Some ophthalmologists had proposed that increasing the penalty on the good eye would strengthen the amblyopic eye beyond that achievable with atropine-based blurring.    From Wordnik.com.  [MedPageToday.com - medical news plus CME for physicians] Reference

However, while abnormalities in V1 explain some amblyopic visual problems, they fail to account for the full range of losses suffered by those with amblyopia-including motion perception.    From Wordnik.com.  [PhysOrg.com - latest science and technology news stories] Reference

After adjusting for baseline acuity, the mean difference in amblyopic improvement, as measured by eye-chart lines read, was 0.3 lines -- in favor of combination therapy but not significantly (95\% CI ­-0. 2 to 0.8).    From Wordnik.com.  [MedPageToday.com - medical news plus CME for physicians] Reference

Basic research in my laboratory has led to a theoretical framework that has been applied in a number of clinical research programs on special populations, including people with amblyopic, low vision, and dyslexic conditions.    From Wordnik.com.  [Livescience.com] Reference

After 18 weeks, visual acuity in the children's amblyopic eyes improved to the same degree in the two treatment arms, reported Susan Cotter, O.D., of the Jaeb Center for Health Research, and other members of the Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group (PEDIG).    From Wordnik.com.  [MedPageToday.com - medical news plus CME for physicians] Reference

The left eye looks to be slightly amblyopic.    From Wordnik.com.  [Awesome eyes with awesome downblouse | My[confined]Space] Reference

On the other hand, the researchers found, 29\% of the atropine-only group achieved amblyopic eye acuity of 20 / 25 or better, compared with 40\% of the combination group (.    From Wordnik.com.  [MedPageToday.com - medical news plus CME for physicians] Reference
