Aricept is available as a generic and you can get extra acetylcholine from lecithin.

They patched their weak eye two hours a day, if children, but it could have helped adults, but they didn’t push it with them.

The improvements were sustained beyond what the study recorded.

How well does this work for 74 year olds?

[digger48]

I had this as a kid

Trying to get a 4 yo to wear that patch was a challenge for my parents . And many broken pair of glasses over the next few years

One of the few times I can I remember getting dads belt was fighting him over the drops

We fortunately had a good eyedoctor who helped us through it.

By the time I was 13, I no longer needed glasses.

67 now but just need over the counter readers

Interesting that the weak eye is the one that gets patched. Seems like you would want to exercise the weaker eye by patching the dominant one.

When approaching a person with Lazy eye, I just bob my head from right to left... They’ll eventually see me.

The question is... Do people with Lazy eye actually see better than the rest of us? Your peripheral vision is obviously more acute, isn’t that a good thing?

It doesn’t makesense that they would patch the weak eye. The standard is to patch the dominant eye as mentioned at the beginning. Seems like an editing fail.

Amblyopia has long been a problem for me. Left eye. I couldn't really use the nice stereo microscopes in my microbiology classes. My right eye is definitely dominant. That's fine for target shooting. Never really expected that a fix might be possible.

But was there a double-blind control group? In other words, was one set of participants secretly given aa placebo, and treated with the exact same patching therapy? Otherwise, the perceived cure could easily be attributed to psychology or to the patching therapy alone.

The question is: Did input A cause outcome B?
There are three possibilities:

1. A caused B
2. B caused A
3. Unidentified C caused both A and B

The experiment must isolate the results to #1 above.

amblyopia or “lazy eye,”

I remember first hearing of this back sixty years or so ago in the PEANUTS comic strip when Lucy had to wear the patch. She was crying because she hurt her hand when she punched some kid in the nose when he called her “Long John Silver.”

I have/had this and remember the patch over my (dominant) right eye with frustration.

I wonder if you eat a diet rich in choline, which converts to acetylcholine would be preferable to taking a drug(?)...
