Lazy Eye (Amblyopia)
These
are vision disorders that cannot be corrected by glasses, lenses or
any surgery and are not caused by an eye disease.The most
common cause is strabismus. Different refractive power between the
two eyes, high hyperopia and astigmatism are the other main causes
of amblyopia. Reasons such as keeping one eye closed for a period of
time during infancy and early childhood, or congenital cataracts
that prevent or reduce the light entering the eye are also among the
causes of lazy eye.
It is important to correct the factor that causes amblyopia and,
if it occurs, to treat amblyopia in early childhood.
