amblyopia
Let an agent explain amblyopia and its causes, relay screening, treatment and outcomes from ophthalmology sources in general terms, describe the types the registry aliases name, and distinguish amblyopia from strabismus itself, refractive error and organic visual loss, noting the misfiled alias and routing to eye care professionals.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain amblyopia and its causes, relay screening, treatment and outcomes from ophthalmology sources in general terms, describe the types the registry aliases name, and distinguish amblyopia from strabismus itself, refractive error and organic visual loss, noting the misfiled alias and routing to eye care professionals.
Reduced vision in one or both eyes caused by abnormal visual development in childhood rather than by eye disease, commonly called lazy eye, arising from strabismus, unequal refractive error known as ametropic or anisometropic amblyopia, or visual deprivation known as disuse amblyopia, with suppression of the affected eye by the brain; it is treated in childhood with glasses, patching or atropine. The registry aliases also list tropical ataxic neuropathy, a different nutritional condition, which appears misfiled. The model routes people to eye care professionals.
What it is for: Not applicable; a condition.
It can be explain causes and types; relay screening and treatment; route to eye care; distinguish related conditions.
Distinguishing features
Developmental
Brain-based
Childhood treatment
Several causes
What it looks like
Not a visible object; an eye with reduced vision.
Physical character
prevalence: about 2-3 percent - children
critical period: up to about 7-8 years note - best response
treatment: glasses, patching, atropine list
How it is recognised
Developmental vision loss in childhood
Strabismic amblyopia, ametropic amblyopia, disuse amblyopia, suppression amblyopia
Strabismus is misalignment; refractive error is correctable; organic loss has an eye cause; tropical ataxic neuropathy is unrelated
