Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
Amblyopia, commonly called lazy eye, affects approximately 2 to 3 out of every 100 children in the USA. involves lowered visual acuity and/or poor muscle control in one eye. The difference in focusing ability causes one eye to be used more often or a misalignment causes one eye to "shut off" to avoid double vision. The result is a loss of stereoscopic vision and depth perception. Early detection is extremely important and vision therapy can improve this condition.
