摘　　要：Amblyopia is a neurodevelopmental disorder of the visual cortex arising from abnormal visual experience early in life. Amblyopia is a major cause of impaired vision in infants and young children (prevalence around 3.5%). There are different treatment options for amblyopia based on its severity and age of the patient. Traditional treatments include patching or occlusion of the dominant eye and pharmacological penalisation using Atropine (1%). Recent developments in amblyopia management have found success with the use of binocular exercises and certain modifications of glasses and contact lenses. The critical age up to which amblyopia is treatable or reversible is also being pushed up with more research. With newer advancements in amblyopia therapy, the success rate is also improving with multimodal approach.Amblyopia is a neurodevelopmental disorder of the visual cortex arising from abnormal visual experience early in life.
