[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 5 year old had a consult today with a vision therapist. He has refractive amblyopia. I have no doubt the therapy will help him. It is 200.00 a session, and they want to see him weekly for a year. I'm a bit in shock. As I proceses the feasibility of engaging in this, I'm wondering if anyone has any first-hand experience? He is currently patching the good eye 2 hours a day in order to strengthen the weak eye. Any luck getting insurance to pay for this? We have BCBS Federal Basic. [/quote] The cure for refractive amblyopia is corrective lenses, patching, and/or eye drops. Two hours a day if patching doesn't seem enough. . Why would you see a vision therapist? Most of what they do isn't supported by research. [/quote]
