Treating the underlying issues is the first step which is performed by eye patches, eye drops or special glasses. If underlying causes are treated before your child is 6 years then amblyopia is preventable.

The main purpose of the patches, glasses or eye drops is to clog or blur the vision in the strong eye so the weak eye will not work hard. This will also help to encourage brain so it sends appropriate signals to the weaker eye.

Prescription lenses can help to improve the misalignment of the weaker eye.
