What is lazy eye syndrome?

Lazy eye, or Amblyopia, is an early childhood condition where a child's eyesight in one eye does not develop as it should. The problem is usually in just one eye, but can sometimes affect both of them. Here, the brain focuses on one eye more than the other, virtually ignoring the lazy eye. Symptoms of a lazy eye may include: ◾Blurred vision ◾Double vision ◾Poor depth perception (of vision) ◾Eyes do not appear to work together ◾A squint (either upwards, downwards, outwards, or inwards). Lazy eye treatment can yield improvements at any age, but early detection and treatment still offer easier treatment and the best chances for a cure. Hope it helps!

Some symptoms of amblyopia (lazy eye) to look for in a child include: Poor vision in one eye or overall poor vision Squinting, tilting the head or closing one eye to see Poor depth perception (difficulty judging relative distances between objects) An inward- or outward-wandering eye Headaches

Lazy eye is poor vision due to incomplete visual development within the brain. Anything that interferes with clear vision in either eye between birth to 8 years of age. After 8years, the child is unlikely to develop it.

Lazy eye, or amblyopia, is a condition when vision does not develop properly, usually in one eye. If left untreated, a child's vision will never develop correctly in the affected eye.
