    Till know, i didn't head that amblyopia can be cure. But i saw an article that said: Dr. Thompson, a post-doctoral fellow at the McGill Vision Research Unit has conducted a study that amblyopia can be temporarily improved vision with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). It is said that rTMS technique can change magnetic fields to the head with a hand-held coil rapidly.

    Amblyopia, with another name lazy eye, is an eye disease which bothers a large number of people worldwide. And it is said that amblyopia is the leading cause of eye problems in children. As far as I know, amblyopia is easily treated and completely curable if caught early, but may lead to lifelong visual problems if left uncorrected. There are 2 main ways to treat amblyopia: eye patch and eye drops. It is best to treat the problem before age 5, which may result in a complete cure with no lingering effects. So you are required to bring your baby to see a doctor as soon as possible.

The period of amblyopia treatment can be as short as 2-3 years, and as long as 7-8 years. Correction of refractive errors is not the basis for treatment, you should have optometry every six months.
