Web-Based Amblyopia Decision Support Tool

Because amblyopia is common and typically responds well to treatment, decision support tools that optimize its management could increase access to pediatric eye care by facilitating earlier detection, enabling broader participation of primary eye care professionals, and ultimately improving visual outcomes. Through this work and the development of the forthcoming free, web-based application version, Amblyopia Navigator Decision-Support Instrument, the Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group has created decision support tools designed to assist optometrists and ophthalmologists in the care of children aged 3 to 17 years with amblyopia.
