 | "I am a parent of a 15 year old that was diagnosed when he was 3 with
amblyopia. I am so thankful for this site!! I wish it would have been
around when he was younger.
Teachers do not always understand how this can affect a child,
especially when learning to read and being patched at the same time.
Because of this, I am working on a master's in special education so I
can help those who have this condition be successful.
Thank you for this site!!"

the internet, and my doctor gave my your brochere.”
“THANK YOU for your program.”

| " This website has been very informative.I wish that I would have been
informed of this program when my daughter was diagnosed 3 years ago, ...
At the time of her diagonosis,my husband and I had just recived our
insurance from his work,it paid for the checkup,but not the glasses
themselves.We were not sure that we could afford them. We had to use our
money bugeted for food that month,so we had to go to the food pantry that
month.
I feel that I need to learn more about Amblyope in order to help my daughter
get through school and to inprove her life.”

| "Hello I am a mom with a child that has a lazy eye and we do the patching
and eye drops on weekends. patching during the week and my son has a
tendency to hide his patch and I spend a lot of time looking for his patch
and no matter where I put his patch he will find it and hide it on me. but
the drops I keep in my purse and he doesn't know that their there. I
recently started to hide his patch in there so he can wear it daily after
school. I thank you for you web site the information is great. thank you "
