Get your child to feel like a real superhero with “Amazing Amber and the Lazy Laser Eye.” Amazing Amber is a superhero who uses her laser eyes to save her friends from Pie-Throwing Pete. But when Pie-Throwing Pete invents a new pie cannon, Amazing Amber discovers that her laser eye has become lazy. Can Doctor Teddy and her eye patch help her save the day again?

Children with amblyopia, also known as ‘lazy eye,’ are in a difficult situation. They may be at an age where the weaker eye can be improved by training with eye patches, but they may be too young to understand why it is necessary and may resist it. When they become old enough to understand and cooperate, it may be too late to get the brain to use the lazy eye. They need all the help they can get to feel comfortable wearing an eye patch and thus be supported to make the weak eye stronger, including help from the superhero Amazing Amber.

This story aims to help children positively identify with Amber, who wears an eye patch, and themselves become superheroes. Treating amblyopia requires effort from caregivers and children. Read this book over and over again to your child to strengthen their sense of doing something good when they have the eye patch on.

The book is also suitable for preschools and daycare centers, where children, by reading the book, will become familiar with the fact that children are different and that it is cool to wear an eye patch if any of their friends need to wear one.
