Can Amblyopia be Treated with Patching?

I have amblyopia, one of my eyes are lazy, I want to know if it can be treated by patching ?

1 Answer
Dr. Sumeet Agrawal

Ophthalmologist/ Eye Surgeon

Answered on 27th Sept '24

Lazy eye­, also called amblyopia, makes one e­ye see poorly compare­d to the other. It leads to blurry e­yesight, doubled vision, and trouble pe­rceiving depth. Children fre­quently experie­nce this condition. One treatme­nt involves patching the stronger e­ye, forcing the weake­r one to work harder. This may enhance­ vision in the lazy eye. If symptoms occur, se­eking an eye doctor's advice­ becomes crucial for suitable tre­atment.

Should I study without astigmatism glasses because I don't have now . Plz tell. My exams preparation will be effected or not.

Male | 21

Are you studying? Make sure to wear your astigmatism glasses! Not wearing them can negatively affect your preparation. Astigmatism causes blurry vision and eye strain, leading to discomfort and headaches. Astigmatism occurs due to an irregular shape of the cornea or lens, but wearing glasses can correct blurry vision, helping you study more effectively.

Doctor, I am 18 year old male, having problem in eye of change in it's power to -0.25D. I wear glasses too.I am also eye exercises and routines which can bring my eye power to normal.I am asking how much time should mobile screen to be limited per day to keep my eye safe on the above report?

Male | 18

Your eyesight has changed a bit with a measurement of -0.25D. This might make your vision less clear and give you sore eyes or a headache. If you spend lots of time looking at screens (like phones), these symptoms could get worse than they already are. To protect your sight, attempt to keep screen use down to 2 hours everyday maximum and take breaks every 20 minutes or so where you focus on something in the distance. You should still wear your glasses as directed by the optician as well.

Hello i am 14 years old and i constantly see lightning in the corner of my eye?? im super stressed and i overreact easily

Male | 14

Seeing flashes of light or "lightning" in your peripheral vision can sometimes be a symptom of an eye related issue. However, stress and anxiety can also cause visual disturbances, including perceived flashes of light. Meantime it may be helpful to practice stress management techniques, such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness or meditation. If this also doesn't help then visit an eye specialist to get it checked.

I'm a 23 year old female. I am overweight. I'm starting to have vision issues. Is this possibility weight related?

Female | 23

Being overweight can sometimes result in vision problems, particularly if it causes a condition known as diabetic retinopathy. The symptoms may include seeing floaters, blurriness, or having trouble seeing at night. Shedding pounds and stabilizing blood sugar levels can assist in rectifying such vision problems.

I am 13 year old , I have problem on eye down infection

Male | 13

It seems that you could develop a disease known as “lower eye infection”. Symptoms may feature including redness, swelling, and discharge from the eye. It is usually the case that bacteria get to the eye when it fails to respond well. For the infection, clean the eye with warm water and then, if your doctor prescribes them, use antibiotic eye drops. Always wash those hands so viruses stay away and do not spread the infection.

What can I do if my eyes gets red

Other | 25

Red eyes are common and can happen for many reasons, like a stuffy nose, dust, tiredness, or chlorine. Sometimes, conditions like arrhythmia or long periods of staring at screens can also cause red eyes. To help, you can use artificial tears to keep your eyes moist. If your eyes still feel irritated, taking a break and resting them is a good idea.

Iam 27 year i have cataract problem of 2 year

Male | 27

Cataracts are eye conditions that cause cloudy vision, making it hard to see clearly. People with cataracts may notice that objects appear blurry, colors are less vibrant, and vision at night is more challenging. Cataracts typically develop when the lens in your eye becomes cloudy, often due to aging or other health issues. The most effective treatment is surgery, where the cloudy lens is replaced with a clear artificial one.
