What Causes Lazy Eye?
Lazy eye, also called amblyopia, is an early childhood vision condition that occurs due to eye developmental anomaly. As a result of this anomaly, the eye does not develop as it should. This affects visual acuity in a way that cannot be corrected with the use of eyeglasses or lenses.
Amblyopia is fairly common among children since it starts during infancy and early childhood. The condition normally affects one eye but may also occur in both eyes. If it is detected early, it is possible to stop further reduction of vision. However, if it is not detected early or it is ignored, lazy eye may lead to permanent loss of vision.
