A must have book for parents of kids with Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) by MT (Brick, NJ United States)  5 Stars
September 10, 2009
I am the mother of a 4 year old girl with Amblyopia who needs to wear an eye patch. This book has so many ideas of things to do during patch time that are fun and also helpful. Wearing an eye patch is tough on our kids, and it is hard work. Those hours each day are long and my daughter fights me a lot about wearing her patch. Finally, we have an idea book packed full of activities/exercises. I wish I had this when we started patching, but even now - months later, it is a huge help. I have felt like I always suggest the same handful of activities over and over and this book has given me many more ideas. Most are appropriate for young children pre-k/and school age and if not they can be adapted. While not all 45 activities may appeal to your child you will certainly leave reading this with many more ideas and options. I also think this would be great for teachers who have kids in their classes with lazy eye. A must have "tool"! The author happens to be a parent of a child with Amblyopia with several years of experience and I am so thankful she has shared her knowledge to help out other parents, like me.

Amazingly Helpful Book! by Todd Hagopian (Michigan) 5 Stars
August 21, 2009
As a young man, I was diagnosed with a lazy eye...My doctor gave me a patch that I had to wear to school for months. It was quite a life experience, though looking back, it probably was not as bad as it seemed. I came across this book and had to buy it just to see what I could have done as a child to fix this problem (which did cause some teasing) faster.
I LOVED this book! It is absolutely a must-have for any parent who is dealing with this problem with their children. You will have fun going through the exercises (and I guarantee that "Fun" is not something I would describe my past experience as). Your child will learn that you can overcome anything in life if you are willing to work at it (a very valuable lesson at a very young age). You will also feel rewarded because you will be actively helping your child (I have been told by my parents that it was quite a helpless feeling not being able to do more for me).
Bottom line, I bought this book as a purely reflective tool to look back on my own experience, and I came away from reading it realizing that conditions like these can actually make you stronger if you deal with them the right way. Please buy this book today for you or your loved ones. You will not regret it.
God Bless.

| The Eye Patch Kids DVD For Amblyopia/Strabismus
Starring: The Bjorts, Princess, Peter, Patty
Directed By: Kelly Harmsen
The Eye Patch Kids DVD is designed to help children understand why they have to wear an eye patch while being entertained by the patched puppets singing and dancing. It's very entertaining for children and stops the struggle between parent and child by allowing the parent to just put on the DVD and let the child put on the patch with the puppets. It really works.

Skyscrapers on street corners appeared to loom out toward her like the bows of giant ships. Tree branches projected upward and outward, enclosing and commanding palpable volumes of space. Leaves created intricate...
