What Is a Lazy Eye? šļø
A lazy eye, also called amblyopia, happens when one eye doesnāt develop normal visionāeven with glasses or contacts.
š¶ It usually starts in childhood
š One eye may see better than the other
ā° Early detection makes a BIG difference
⨠Why early eye exams matter:
⢠Vision can often be improved when caught early
⢠Treatment may include glasses, patching, or vision therapy
⢠Prevents permanent vision loss
Even if your childās eyes look fine, vision problems can still be present.
