Amblyopia, commonly known as “lazy eye,” is a vision development disorder where one eye fails to achieve normal visual acuity, even with prescription glasses or contact lenses. It typically develops in early childhood and is the leading cause of vision impairment among children.
Amblyopia is typically diagnosed during routine eye exams, particularly in young children. Eye doctors may use various tests to measure visual acuity and assess how well the eyes work together.
Early detection and treatment are crucial for effective management of amblyopia. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss in the affected eye.
