Now, a study of 419 children ages 3 to 7 found that eye drops which blur the good eye may work just as well as a patch. </p> <p>Researchers treated 215 kids with a patch, 204 with atropine, an eye drop. </p> <p>Initially, the patch group did a bit better but 87 months later, the groups did about the same -- 80 percent of the kids in each group got better. </p> <p>Kids preferred the drops to the patch, though they did occasionally cause side effects. </p> <p>Conclusions: We need more research. If you child has lazy eye, see an ophthalmologist and discuss patches and drops. In the right kid, each works just fine.</p> <!-- body --> <!--news--> <br><br> <div align="center"> <!--Start SearchLight--> <script type="text/javascript"> aster_cloud_id = '2417581'; aster_cloud_format = '430x280'; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20100114225234js_/http://web.asterpix.com/media/js/searchlight.js"></script> <!--End SearchLight--> </div> <p class="tiny"><strong><a href="/web/20100114225234/http://consumeraffairs.com/php/a_report.php">Report Your Experience</a></strong> <br>If you've had a bad experience -- or a good one -- with a consumer product or service, we'd like to hear about it.
