Three children with amblyopia wearing a patch over the good eye

The Ohio Amblyope Registry is the first and only statewide program designed to serve the needs of Ohio’s children with amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, their families and eye doctors. It is a voluntary registration program to increase knowledge about amblyopia, its treatment and prevention. All services provided by the registry are free of charge.

The Ohio Amblyope Registry is part of the Save Our Sight program for children, that receives voluntary contributions from the check-off donation box on Ohio license plate renewal forms.

There are three main parts to the Ohio Amblyope Registry:

  1. Information
  2. Case management
  3. Financial Assistance
