| Using Spot for early identification of amblyopic risk factors, as recommended by the AAP, could lead to less invasive treatment options. |
| If not treated early enough, an amblyopic eye may never develop good vision and may even become functionally blind. |
| The authors conclude that children who required treatment for amblyopia were four times more likely to remain amblyopic if they were screened only at 37 months of age. |
| And if it happens from a young age, that eye can become amblyopic. |
| When the opportunity passes, amblyopic children most likely end up with permanent visual impairment. |
| The wall eye will eventually become amblyopic, especially if the eye coordination problem is not addressed at an early age. |
