– Amblyopia (known as lazy eye) is the most common cause of decreased monocular vision among children and younger adults, affecting approximately 300 million people around the world. The standard amblyopia treatment involves patching the dominant eye, and is most successful for children under the age of seven; however, after the age of nine it is considered untreatable.
– RevitalVision’s neural training program improves adult vision by 2.5 lines on average on the visual acuity chart, and 100% in contrast sensitivity (about 20% – 25% vision improvement). Most amblyopic patients also improve stereo acuity and binocular function.
