Amblyopia

Filed under: General — 7:02 pm

Amblyopia (aka lazy eye) came up as a topic of conversation yesterday, and I was able to input that the eye-patch treatment of amblyopia is one of the most rewarding in medicine. This is because without medication or surgery or hospitalization a child can be given eyesight in an eye which otherwise might have no sight.

Where did I learn this? From this Peanuts comic:
