Facts about Lazy Eye (Amblyopia) in Children

Exercises Can Help With Lazy Eye

Some specific exercises would help improve the lazy eye in children. For instance, the stronger eye might be patched, while the weaker one can be stimulated with some vision-intensive activities, such as building Lego, word games, dot-to-dot drawing, or coloring, depending on your kids’ age range. The main goal is to strengthen the weaker eye and improve the symptoms over time. However, this is not often seen as the first-line treatment but should be combined with other options mentioned above. [7]
