Understanding Amblyopia
Lazy eye, also known as amblyopia, is a neurodevelopmental
disorder that affects children’s vision. It occurs when the brain does not properly
develop the ability to see out of one eye. This can happen for a variety of
reasons, including strabismus (crossed eyes), refractive errors
(nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism), or amblyopia deprivation
(when one eye is covered or blocked).
Amblyopia and Its Impact on Children's Vision
Lazy eye typically manifests before the age of 8, and about 4%
of children worldwide are affected. Children with lazy eyes may have reduced
vision in one or both eyes, and they may also have difficulty comprehending,
copying from the board or screen, and coordinating their eyes with their hands.
It is important to detect and treat lazy eye disease early, as it can lead to permanent vision loss. Treatment typically involves patching the stronger eye or using eye drops to blur the stronger eye, which forces the weaker eye to work harder. With early intervention, most children with lazy eyes can achieve normal vision.
