Just read through a few people's anecdotes about living with amblyopia so wanted to add my own piece :). I'm an 18 year old student with moderate amblyopia. I find that my lazy eye is most noticeable when looking at things up close (one eye turns inward) and sometimes turns outwards when looking at things in the distance (interested to know if anyone else out there has this!). I am often told that I am attractive/striking and have family members that tell me my lazy eye just isn't noticeable. However at a time in school I went through a phase of having extremely severe confidence issues around my eyes when my lazy eye seemed to be really bad (Turns out my perscription had changed which worsened my lazy eye- watch out for this!). Anyways since then it's usually been at the back of my mind when facing people and chatting. These worries can be quite distracting and sometimes prevent me from really engaging with people. Whenever I go to optometrists I am told that it is too late to correct my lazy eye. Some have implied that it was a fault of my parents for not patching me properly, I do not know to this day how much they actually did to help and so there is some sense of blame and anger there :/. Of course when I see videos such as this I have hope that I can reduce my lazy eye but I am also aware that I am biased by near desperation to get rid of amblyopia. From what I've read, vision therapy is less effective at older ages but still 100% worth trying (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5490155/). I'm using an expensive, but highly recommended, program called amblyoplay for this and will let you know how effective it was for me in a few months time :). On a slightly sentimental note I just wanted to say to anyone suffering with amblyopia that: 1) you are not alone 2) quite often these things are less noticeable to others than ourselves 3) imao the real sucker of amblyopia is not how it looks to others, but the self esteem issues that may restrict you from wanting to socialise/relax with others. Be brave and when people comment on it try not to take it personally but have humour and embrace it as a unique and special part of the wonderful person you are. Best wishes

I think commenters are confusing amblyopia with strabismus (where the eyes don't align). I have amblyopia - my left eye never learned to focus but you could never tell by looking at me.

I just discoverd your channel and I can not thank you enough for making these videos! I looked at your channel and now I'm going to binge all those videos 😀. Keep up the great work!

The first 6 and a half minutes of this video I was thinking about how you could develop an app for virtual reality that you could put on the Meta quest store or the PlayStation Store for their new PSVR2. So that was awesome to hear you're already utilizing VR. Hopefully all these months later you're considering a way that people can utilize that all around the world. Because when you said 67% of people experience motion sickness symptoms that applies to the average VR user as well. A training app for your eyes could very well be the number one app in VR out of pure necessity.

Great summary and information!

Sounds like very effective therapy. Thanks for the data base on other doctors who know this too.

yes. this is an amazing explanation. thank you!

I done lots of exercises and strengthened the muscles which help me control it. The proper rest helps as well.

Sounds like u have a comphrehensive approach to truly help. Wish u were in nj

Living with a lazy eye: I have been told by most doctors and eye specialists that there is no cure and I missed my chance by not wearing my patch glasses until the age of 8. After which it is not possible to improve the condition of the lazy eye. Every few years when I'd read about a breakthrough discovery for vision I would expect and find if there were treatment options but was always disappointed that nobody would give me any hope.. until today'. I have very briefly for patch glasses in junior school and like many kids I didn't follow through and lived with a lazy eye which I feel has been a major reason for not being able to catch a ball till today, hence never being selected or particularly interested in sports, and struggle to play video games . At 34 my handwriting is like a child's and often when there is a flash I picture with a blatantly flashy lazy eye which would frustratingly ruin my photographs. Occasionally whenever tired or under slept or under certain conditions I would become visibly cross eyed and for someone who is said to be photogenic and considered striking with a 6 2 height, I would often be embarrassed Whenever I can see myself cross eyes and would find an angle to speak to people in person or on video call and photos with an angle that masks a full view covering my defects which gave me some serious self esteem issues even more because, without being pompous, it's even harder when you are told that you are good looking with movie star looks, it would be embarrassing to be discovered by someone with a keen eye during sleeplessness etc that my eye was twister... And I' would choose timings to make sure I've gotten proper sleep etc to be able to make a proper impression. Since childhood I've been very facinsted with eyes and would draw them endlessly and I know for sure that I was not able to focus on my classes and lectures and would drift away into day dreaming and lose focus. I had to have extra tuitions and really worked hard to get good grades and eventually graduate with an honours degree In marketing. I stil struggle and need s litte extra effort to totally turn my head for motor activity like driving in traffic and for the longest time was not receptive to routes or ways Living in the same city for 10 years.. I don't think it is attention deficit disorder because for TV music etc I would endlessly watch snd could learn dance and was good at math . But not coordination and when the eyes occasionally get cross eyed I get double vision still but that's not very often. I just kept hoping something would eventually come up despite being told there are very little I can do to help anything. But watching this video today has made my heart weep with joy..and I pray that God helps everyone get access to these advanced treatment models and that every child gets a doctor/eye specialist like the kind soul in this video who explains it so well and thoroughly. I don't know if I will be able to afford it but It has switched on and ignited a new mission for me to further improve my life and focus because this eye problem.clearly impacts my work which is a beautiful mess just like my life. And I always knew in my heart that alignment of the two woudl help me in every way. Becusee when I was very little my aunt noticed that there was something off about my balance and while I manage most things just fine or as efficiently if not more, it has also set me back for tasks that requires both eyes and I need to make an extra effort to always be on par with others with a handicap of sorts but still blend in and try to make the best in my own home made desserts business where I have worked hard to focus and be able to gauge best angles for photography..and choosing the right pics, which gets exhaustingly confusing and jumbled that i need assistance or sleep to better perceive things.. thank you doctor I hope my account helps you research the psychological and social effects of living with ambyology and it's effects on mental health and self esteem .best regards and wishing you peace.

Thanks!

Thank you

Good day. I'm a mother of a 26-weeker boy from the Philippines. He was diagnosed with ROP and had laser surgetry for both his eyes. His doctor prescribed patching for his right eye treatment but we're having a struggle because he's uncomfortable with it especially now that he is trying to walk and enjoy playing. If only your vision therapy are available here in the Philippines. 😢

Does anyone has any idea, what is the expected cost and time of complete vision therapy ?

Could you provide links to the evidence for the efficacy of these treatments please?

I was never recommended any treatment by any doctor for my vision 20 200 legally blind and lazy eye not always noticeable just laughs and giggles and stronger prescription glasses im going to cry if it helps even a little bit

I am 31.Thanks For video.

Hi there so about 3 years ago I was diagnosed with Nuro Syphilis. I was treated for it having to stay in hospital for 2 weeks with Nonstop penicillin being fed from an IV bag. Well due to this it cause my Retina to become detached and now I am blind in my left eye and also deal with lazy eye in the same eye. Is there anyway I can get my eyesight back and correct my lazy eye ? It’s something I brought upon myself by not being safe. I’ve learned my lesson I just want to be able to see again.

I have ARC that caused lazy eye my vision is real bad it's almost completely ignored by my brain which all I see in the affected eye in a dark ..it's a real struggle, accepting that I'm going to be blind in one eye and dealing with ignorant people

My friend's child has amblyopia but his eyes are not crosed. They found out at the age of 9, he has 13 now.

Strange, I was developing amblyopia/anisometropia after I got my first glasses (back in 1996 I had -2.00 SPH and -0.50 CYL in both eyes and in 2021 -4.25 SPH, -1.75 CYL in right and -2.00 SPH, -2.00 CYL in left). Vision therapy isn't practiced where I live, do you think it would work at home by ordering sunglasses with green & red tint (same frames) and you swap one lens for the other color?

I’m from Philippines, I noticed I have also lazy eye from my right eye! Please help me

I was born with a lazy eye and years ago they considered me legally blind in that eye. I never thought I could fix it as an adult

I hope you read my message.hope you understand i pray everynight ,the eyes of my son back to normal.my hearts aching when i see my son smiling at me.oh i dont know what to do.

My left eye hurts because i have lazy eye aka strabismus i went to the omptoplogist to help and they sort of helped me

People are confusing strabismus with amblyopia, even after people clarify again and again. If you have strabismus, sorry about that.

How i wish i could be able to do this vision therapy and wanted to heal from amblyopia.. been diagnosed with this since i was in elementary. Wanted help too

How to cure lazy eye please help doc thank you

Need to book a consultation

Hi, how can I get the treatment. Im in Australia

I USED TO HAVE BEAUTIFUL EYES. Hello, my lazy eye was caused by a stroke in the nerve effectively resulting in 3rd nerve palsy. Can this treatment help restore my vision so I can return to work or do I have to wait the 6 months till I go back to see the Neuro-Ophthalmologist‽ I am going to lose everything if I don't get back to work. But as it stands I can't drive it's terrifying. NIGHT DRIVING‽ FORGET IT! Guess what shift I work... yeah 3rd. I have lost so much weight since this happened 01/21/22 just 1 month ago I have lost nearly 50#s because I get so sick to my stomach I can't get out of bed and my balance is completely off. I bump into stuff that I know is there, I knock things over because they are closer than I thought or I miss them completely ie; the stair rail. Fell halfway down the stairs on my face because the rail was farther away than I thought it was. This is going to sound shallow but I'm so embarrassed by my wonky eye I hide no one is to come over and I go nowhere. I'm at the end of my rope. I hope you can help. PS: I am local.

What if I can see clearly to bowties but once I’m focusing on something my left eye moves to the side what would that be called

I cannot see properly the far object with my right eye. Does that mean I have amblyopia?

Hello sir actually i am suffering from lazy eye too so what can i do and how much time would it take to be able to see again with both of my eyes 🥺

I'm a 36 years old, I only discovered that my left eye was totally blind and lazy when I was around 14 years old. Been trying to go to the public doctors since but my efforts are fruitless. I really need your help doctor cz your video sounds very promising.This eye problem worries me, leaving in fear cz the right eye's vision is lessening.Poor self esteem and failure to maintain eye contact kills me a lot. I'm located in South Africa. Looking forward to seeing the world with both eyes and left eye corrected. I desperately need your help.

Sir, I am suffring from amblyiopia and my right vision is very low so plear tell me it's process.

Too Late in my case. I am 87 years old with AMBLYOPIA since age about 2 years old in Delhi, India.

This is the only hope for me . I am 23 years old and have amblyopia in my right eye . The doctor at my place said its not treatable now . When i look back i had so much problem because of my amblyopic eye but never knew of this condition as my left eye was perfect . Now i am realizing its difficult for me to drive and do things. Vision therapy seems only hope for me but its not available in place i live.

Hello . When was younger I had a lazy eye and should of had patch but never got one . Anyway my eye straitend on its own but it still has terrible vision it makes say a number plate numbers merge together and also has give mebad heads a few times a weak since I was little. At 21 I went to eye department at hvi and they talk of going in,behind my eye and then I went back to talk and they said it was to hard. I am now 44 and wondering if you think I have better chance with today's technology .it would change my life having good vision and hopefully stop the pain as it gets,me down .

I had intermittent exo for about 50PD at near and 40PD at distance,as an adult. Got the R&R surgery in one eye only and there’s still some exodrift left at the cover test ,but generally the control is excelent now. How can I fix that residual exo left (probably 10-15PD)? Are the eye exercises good at this point,3 weeks post-op? (eg. pencil push-ups,etc)cause’ I don’t want to lose control again over some years

Would you please suggest a clinic where I could be checked again? Currently living here in Tallahassee, Fl. My bad eye gets clearer with a lens but just only partially, otherwise I get double vision if it'll be corrected to 20/20 using both eyes. Please help. thank you. all the best

Im 47 and my right eye has always been lazy, is it too late for me to try patching?

I am 28, I was told it’s unfixable after age 9 Is it still possible for me to still fix it?

invest in a good mic.

Eye patch works fine and helps, to what degree..... I"m not certain as I'm no doctor. But these guys here in the video just want people to fork over the dough for their 'eye therapy'. I feel like sometimes these rich people just want to be richer and refuse to give out free helpful tips to those who are suffering but have limited means when it comes to being able to afford professional care. It's almost like they are trying to steer you away from something that you can do for free..... which 'eye therapy' is, btw. I've seen a few genuinely kind people who just want to help others out and posted videos on eye exercises that they have learned or gathered from these vision therapy doctors. Just do searches on KZfaq, there are nice people out there willing to help unlike some 'professionals' who wants their bling bling and Jaguar cars.

The problem with telling a child he needs to wear a patch is that the child is most likely a believer in God, and they believe God is on their side no matter what. This was my mistake now i deal with physical eye and head pain because I was a believer in God, I actually thought that God created people equal and he would protect me. That only led to mental health problems for me as well. Also became antisocial due to this issue

i am from India suffering from Lazy eye right eye vision 6 /24 and left eye -6/6 i did patching but not got satisfied result i feel same is it cured fully ? what can i do

Ne number petu bro

sorry but you are just repeating what you already said about the subject in other videos.... just don't deceive people : there is no solution to recover from amblyopia. Period. Just show me ONE example of a patient who retrieved 100% vison after you BS exercises ...
