Definition

Questions to assess history of eye patching, which is used to treat amblyopia ("lazy eye").

Purpose

A variety of eye diseases in children may have life-long implications associated with visual function and ocular health. Strabismus can cause blindness due to amblyopia if not detected in early childhood. Determining those who have a personal history of the disease identifies higher risk individuals.
