I'm surprised so many lazy eyes are diagnosed too late. Isn't it something that you'd notice right away?

I wonder if researchers have made any headway into finding a cure for 'crazy eye'?

But, will these implants be available to everyone?

Sounds like they're only available to a small group of children right now as an experimental treatment. I guess if it works, it might become used more widely.

I'm not sure I'd have the courage to let my son try an experimental treatment. Then again, when you have a child with a condition that needs fixed, I suppose it's an entirely different story.
