I saw another patient today that made me sad. Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) in children is something that can be treated if caught early on and followed up with regularly. Today, again, I saw an 11 year old boy who had Amblyopia in both eyes. The best we could get his vision was 20/50. The legal limit to drive is 20/40. I had to tell the parents, because he hasn't been seen regularly and hasn't been wearing his glasses, he may never be able to drive.
Guess what... I bet he still won't be seen regularly or wear his glasses.
