  1. Definition
    1. Discrepancy between each eye's Refractive Errors
  2. Epidemiology
    1. Second most common cause of Amblyopia
  3. Pathophysiology
    1. Large difference in Refractive Error between eyes
    2. "Good" eye favored
    3. "Bad" eye
      1. Nearsighted
      2. Farsighted
      3. Strabismus
  4. Screening
    1. Visual Acuity testing (start screening early)
    2. Strabismus Testing
  5. Management
    1. Correction of Refractive Error
      1. Eyeglasses
      2. Contact lenses
    2. Correction of coexisting Amblyopia
