| The single and most effective test for amblyopia is the determination of visual acuity by noninvasive testing. |
| Both strabismic and deprivation amblyopia occur as a result of abnormal visual experience during development. |
| Uncorrected amblyopia is a significant risk factor for total blindness, in the case of injury or disease, in the better functioning eye. |
| The traditional model of patching for amblyopia tends to be one in which the closer vision is to normal the less treatment is given. |
| Refractive error not associated with amblyopia principally includes myopia and hyperopia. |
| This is very important, because it is estimated that as many as three percent of children in the U.S. have some degree of vision impairment due to amblyopia. |
