Every time a delivery person tries to hand me a parcel, I reach out to the side and not far enough.
And have to explain why.

Prior to the eye op, I could shut my right eye and touch my nose with a finger accurately. Because my brain largely ignores the other eye.
With my left eye shut, the finger bypasses my face.

At least I'm not overshooting and grabbing their bodies.

Cure For Adult Lazy Eye. Adult ablyopia and vision loss, thought to be permanent, can be reversed with retinal aesthesia says MIT researchers. #amblyopia #lazyeye #retina #anesthesia

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Cure For Adult Lazy Eye Lazy eye or amblyopia typically begins in childhood when one eye develops decreased vision. It can occur due to poor eye alignment, so-called cross-eyes or strabismus, or due to the affected eye being not capable of focusing due to excessive near- or far-sightedness. The accepted fact is that, once an eye shuts down, there is no way to recover the vision. MIT brain and cognitive scientists disagree and now report their studies showing vision recovery in the journal Cell Reports. In a mouse model, they demonstrate that temporarily anesthetizing the weak eye’s retina for several days leads to rejuvenation of the brain’s optical pathways and sight recovery for that eye when the anesthesia wears off. The investigators now plan confirmatory studies in primates to be followed by clinical trials. Their current success suggests that adult optical nervous pathways are capable of more regeneration than once thought. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-11-vision-rebooted-adults-amblyopia.html https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(25)01338-5?_returnURL=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S2211124725013385?showall=true #amblyopia #lazyeye #retina #anesthesia"

Adult lazy eye reversal is a game-changer for those living with amblyopia. Scientists at MIT have made a breakthrough discovery that temporarily anesthetizing the weak eye's retina can rejuvenate the brain's optical pathways, leading to sight recovery. This promising research opens up new possibilities for treatment and management of lazy eye in adults. With the help of technology and medical advancements, we may see a shift in the way we approach eye care and lazy eye treatment. The future of eye health is looking brighter than ever.

Routine Eye Test Reveals Seven-Year-Old's Risk of Vision Loss

A seven-year-old boy from Dinas Mawddwy, Gwynedd, named Mabon, was found to have amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, during a chance visit to an optician. The condition, which left him nearly blind in one eye, was discovered after his mother, Mared Jones, prompted by a casual conversation about t... [More info]

🌟 August is Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month! 🌟 Prioritize your child's vision by watching for signs like eye rubbing or squinting, which can indicate issues like myopia, amblyopia, or strabismus. Regular eye exams are essential, and protective eyewear can prevent 90% of sports-related injuries. Let’s ensure our children have healthy vision! #ChildrensEyeHealth #EyeSafety #Myopia #Amblyopia #Strabismus #EyeInjuries #ProtectiveEyewear #HealthyVision #Wellness #SCABPharmacy

Low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation promotes plasticity of the visual cortex in adult amblyopic rats https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2023.1109735/full #rTMS #amblyopia #plasticity
Low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation promotes plasticity of the visual cortex in adult amblyopic rats

The decline of visual plasticity restricts the recovery of visual functions in adult amblyopia. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been shown to be effective in treating adult amblyopia. However, the underlying mechanisms of rTMS on visual cortex plasticity remain unclear. In this study, we found that low-frequency rTMS reinstated the amplitude of visual evoked potentials, but did not influence the impaired depth perception of amblyopic rats. Furthermore, the expression of synaptic plasticity genes and the number of dendritic spines were significantly higher in amblyopic rats which received rTMS when compared with amblyopic rats which received sham stimulation, with reduced level of inhibition and perineuronal nets in visual cortex, as observed via molecular and histological investigations. The results provide further evidence that rTMS enhances functional recovery and visual plasticity in an adult amblyopic animal model.
