The goals of this study are:

* To determine whether the visual acuity improvement obtained with part-time (6 hours) patching is equivalent to the visual acuity improvement obtained with full-time patching (all or all but one waking hour) for severe amblyopia.
* To develop more precise estimates than currently available for the visual acuity improvement that occurs during treatment of amblyopia with patching.
* To identify factors that may be associated with successful treatment of amblyopia with patching.
