Patches out!

Children with lazy eyes or amblyopia will enjoy the news. They have found treatment as effective as applying a patch to a healthy eye: eye drops called atropine.

The investigation was conducted with children under seven years of age. And, in six months after treating the healthy eye with atropine or covering it with the patch, they have seen that the same improvement is achieved.
