Amblyopia sometimes referred to as "lazy eye" is the loss of one eye's ability to see details. It is one of the most common causes of vision problems in children. The Ohio Amblyope Registry (OAR) is the first and only statewide registry for children and families with amblyopia. We've partnered with OAR to provide free treatment supplies (eye patches), educational information and support to any child (under the age of 18) and their family in the state of Ohio diagnosed with amblyopia.
