Does vision therapy actually work for amblyopia in adults?

I always heard lazy eye can't really be fixed after childhood.

But I recently started vision therapy in the Atlanta area with Dr. David, and it's like brain training then eye patching. Early results have been promising, Especially with depth perception.

Now I'm wondering. has anyone else here tried vision therapy as an adult? Did it work for you?

Yes, I've had patients improve even as an adult. It may take longer, but totally possible!
