10 Hemangioma Symptoms
Symptom #7: Amblyopia
Amblyopia or lazy eye occurs when the eye and brain do not work well together, resulting in decreased vision despite having normal eyes. It is the commonest cause of decreased vision among children and adolescents. Amblyopia can be caused by any condition that interferes with the focus of the eyes in early childhood. Conditions that cause amblyopia include poor alignment of the eyes, irregular shaped eyes, and clouding of the lens.
In cases of hemangioma, amblyopia can occur in a visual obstruction that has been left untreated. Even after the removal of the hemangioma, vision will not be restored immediately. If untreated, amblyopia persists into adulthood.
