II. Definition
- Discrepancy between each eye's Refractive Errors
III. Epidemiology
- Second most common cause of Amblyopia
IV. Pathophysiology
- Large difference in Refractive Error between eyes
- "Good" eye favored
- "Bad" eye
V. Screening
- Visual Acuity testing (start screening early)
- Strabismus Testing
VI. Management
- Correction of Refractive Error
- Eyeglasses
- Contact Lenses
- Correction of coexisting Amblyopia
