Abstract
Our goal in this perspective piece is to provide a framework of support for a paradigm
shift in the approach to treatment of amblyopia. Older paradigms essentially conceived of amblyopia as a monocular phenomenon. The National Eye Institute of the National Institute of Health in the United States (NEI/NIH) characterizes amblyopia as “a medical term used when the vision in one of the eyes is reduced because the eye and the brain are not working together properly.
