This just a question about the actual disability associated with the amblyopic child/young adult in terms of quantitative and qualitative developmental aspects.Is Amblyopia more strongly associated with underachievement in sport,literacy acquisition,writing skills than other ophthalmological conditions like refractive errors,and are the common ophthalmological conditions of childhood associated with academic sporting and social underachievemnt at all?? Thank you.I like your article. Roger Blackmore
