Is it true that wearing corrective glasses improves vision in children with amblyopia, also called lazy eye?

Unclear. Several peer-reviewed reviews and one clinical study indicate that glasses worn alone can improve visual acuity in children with amblyopia, though the evidence is framed as part of broader treatment and often combined with occlusion or other therapies.
