Laser surgery offers new hope for kids with untreatable lazy eye

This study tested if a laser eye surgery called PRK could improve vision in children with a 'lazy eye' caused by a large difference in prescription between their eyes, or a very high prescription in both eyes. It was for children aged 2 to 17 whose vision did not get better after at least 6 months of standard treatments like glasses or eye patches. The goal was to see if correcting the eye's prescription with surgery could help the brain develop better long-term vision.
