When can you have vision therapy on a lazy eye?

As soon as possible.: Earlier treatment for amblyopia usually results in improved outcomes. Therefore, early identification of the problem and treatment is essential especially in children.

As early as you can: The child's brain can adapt to changes much better at a younger age. In fact, after the age of 7, it becomes increasingly difficult to resolve a lazy eye. Vision therapy alone may not be the answer. Surgery may be of more benefit, depending on the cause of the lazy eye. The earlier treatment begins, the better the final outcome will be.
