A, B, C, D
Feedback:
Treatment for amblyopia can consist of wearing correcting glasses, covering the good eye with a patch, or a combination of the two. An additional option is using the medication levodopa and an eye patch. LASIK surgery might be considered, which corrects the refractive error but does not cut the eye muscle.
