Amblyopia is the leading cause of visual loss in children and young adults, affecting up to 5% of people of all ages. Patching and atropine eyedrops successfully treat this condition. However, adherence to treatment is often poor. Current literature has identified factors impacting compliance, but less is known about successful interventions to improve adherence. This study's purpose is to identify parent attitudes towards amblyopia treatment and barriers to treatment compliance in order to inform future provider and multidisciplinary approaches to improve adherence.
