Amblyopia is also called “lazy eye.”
Amblyopia is also called “lazy eye.” It is an eye problem
that starts in early childhood. Amblyopia is the most common cause of vision
problems in children. It happens when one eye doesn’t work properly with the
brain. The brain favors the eye that does work correctly. This causes a loss of
vision in the other eye.
Amblyopia usually affects only one of the eyes. Sometimes
it can affect both. It is important to detect amblyopia in your child early and
treat it promptly. If you do, he or she most likely will not have long-term
vision problems. Left untreated, it can cause severe vision problems, including
legal blindness.
