Children and their eyes

Getting good results in ambyopia is difficult. BUT...

Let me share the story of this young boy who presented to me with ambyopia in one eye .. amblyopia is lazy eye where one eye is weaker than the other. 

A young boy improved from 6/ 60 to 6/6 just by patching and perseverance. He was the most motivated of the lot and he really did well. He used to patch about 12 hors per day and from Feb 2013 to June 2013 his progress was remarkable and steady. 

When he did not want to wear the patch he used frosted glasses which were fitted on curved frames so that he would not peek from the sides. 

Astounding success, anything is possible when there is motivation and keen desire. .
