I have a difficult time seeing the tennis ball when playing indoors.
When the ball comes across the lines, or passes the white band across
the top of the net, or when the background is a white shirt, I lose

Brandon is nearing the end of his sixth week with full RX glasses and
patching.  He is claiming to not see with the amblyopic eye when using
