There are many benefits to amblyopia treatment, including:

• Improved vision
• Treatment for both children and adults
• Innovative treatment methods
• Customized procedure plans
• The ability to treat issues in children before they become permanent

The most common forms of treating amblyopia include prescription eyeglasses and patching. These treatments help increase visual acuity in both eyes but are typically more effective in mild cases. We have discovered that by incorporating vision therapy in combination with these traditional methods, patients are more likely to experience improvement. Vision therapy works by training the brain to use both eyes in order to improve binocular vision. At Ticho Eye Associates, our skilled team of ophthalmologists will create a custom treatment plan that is designed to address your unique needs and vision concerns.

Candidates for amblyopia treatment may be both children and adults needing to restore vision issues that have been caused by amblyopia. The exact treatment may vary depending upon the age of the patient, the severity of the condition, and if any other vision issues are present. Our team at Ticho Eye Associates will provide a thorough consultation to evaluate your condition and determine a personalized treatment plan that will best fit you or your child's needs.

Can amblyopia get worse with age?
Yes, amblyopia can worsen with age. Although it typically starts in childhood, amblyopia can continue into adulthood if left untreated. This is why we recommend seeking professional help at Ticho Eye Associates at the onset of symptoms.

Can amblyopia affect both eyes?
Though it is somewhat uncommon, amblyopia can affect both eyes. As the leading cause of decreased vision in children, it can occur from birth to age seven.
