CureSee Vision Therapy- A Boon to Amblyopia

Amblyopia is a deficit of vision, principally visual acuity, due to interruption of normal visual development during the sensitive period in childhood.

There might be no clear symptom in which the parents notice that their child is amblyopic, so it must be detected by checking vision in early age of the child.
Few amblyopia symptoms might include

• Squinting or shutting an eye


• Impaired depth perception


• Poor eye-hand coordination


• Tripping and/or accident-prone


• The trouble with micro eye movement


• Slower reading speed and comprehensio

Those with amblyopia may have reduced eyesight varying from:

• Mild 20/25 – 20/40 (6/7.5 -6/12)


• Moderate 20/50 – 20/80 (6/15 – 6/24)


• Severe worse than 20/100 (worse than 6/30)

TREATMENT

With early is diagnosis and treatment, most children will gain vision. Amblyopia becomes much harder to treat after about 7-9 years of age, so make sure your child gets exam early on.

Treatment of amblyopia after the age of 17 is not dependent upon the age but requires more efforts including vision therapy every amblyopic patient deserve an attempt to treatment.
