Perhaps if they did optometric vision therapy and not convergence exercises (which may or may not have treated accommodative dysfunctions associated with the CI IXT), injecting Botox may not have been needed.

Comment: Optometrists have known that amblyopia is a binocular (two eyed) brain problem for a very long time. That is why binocular vision therapy (and not just patching alone)  is so important when it comes to treating this serious vision disorder. This is one more step moving all in the right direction when thinking about, diagnosing and treating amblyopia!
