Around one in 50 children are affected by the visual impairment amblyopia, which can usually be treated through patching therapy. This involves the child wearing a patch over the unaffected eye – normally for three hours a day for six months – to force the 'lazy' eye to work. However, the success rate is only 50 per cent, as children often struggle to wear the patch properly and with many busy households eventually giving up on the treatment.
