Occlusion therapy ( patching one eye for short periods ) is one of the most effective treetments of #amblyopia and I would like to personally thank @Madonna for this public service message 😜@FollowBIOS – at Islington, London

#ICYMI check out this story on @BCChildrenshosp investigator Dr. Deborah Giaschi’s research on the reading ability of children with #amblyopia, or lazy eye: bit.ly/2Jpyn2v

Good to know that amblyopia can be treated in older children @OptomScotland @OptometryWales @JulieMosgrove #amblyopia – at Glasgow, Scotland
It's here & free to read! Our review on lazy eye treatment for older children concludes it can effectively improve sight & no reason not to carefully attempt it. No parent should be denied first time treatment for their child because "It's too late". @HeidiLTomlinson @FollowBIOS

However, it's worth testing also older children if they didn't get tested earlier for some reason - #amblyopia may be treatable at a later age, too.
See this Perspective by @MPOrthoptics and Anita J Simmers:
journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…
Concerning data from the USA:
Nearly 40% of children aged 3-5 had never had an eye test.
It's important that young children get a vision test at least once so that they can be screened for #amblyopia and start treatment if needed.
