5. There is no specific medication for amblyopia.
6. 1% atropine ointment or eye drops are primarily used in suppression therapy. For the healthy eye, 1% atropine is applied to blur vision, forcing the patient to use the amblyopic eye, which is beneficial for training and improving the vision of the amblyopic eye.
