Can amblyopia and simple-partial seizures be linked?

Unlikely: Amblyopia is a defect in formation of the connection between the eye and the brain. It occurs during childhood. But this defect does not cause seizures.

Rare: Patients with occipital lobe seizures, seizures coming from damage in the back of the brain where the vision center is located, not simple-partial have a higher chance of having amblyopia. Some children who have had subarachnoid hemorrhage, bleeding on the covering of the brain can develop amblyopia and seizures. Again, its rare.
