Summary
This study tests whether adding valproate (a medication) to standard patching therapy can improve vision in children aged 8-17 with lazy eye (amblyopia) that hasn't fully resolved. Participants will take valproate or a placebo daily for 16 weeks while patching the stronger eye for 2 hours each day. The main goal is to see if valproate helps the weaker eye see better and if the improvement lasts.
