Possibly: If the amblyopia is not severe and it is caught in time then it can be greatly improved and perhaps eliminated with therapy.

Unlikely: If amblyopia is not addressed by age 7-8 or so it is permanent and vision therapy is usually unsuccessful at restoring good vision.

If you have amblyopia, what scores do you get on the vision chart tests?

Varies widely: The depth of amblyopia generally depends upon the level of blur present during childhood. We generally see visions ranging from 20/30 to as poor as 20/400. Generally acuity improves with single letters which decreases visual confusion.
