Overview

Lazy eye or Amblyopia in kids is a neuro-developmental disorder that typically manifests before the age of 8.

The child experiences reduced vision in one or both of the eyes as binocular vision is hindered. As a result, he develops lazy eye that cannot be corrected only with spectacle lenses.

They have difficulty comprehending, copying from the board or screen, and slow eye-to-hand coordination. Detecting and solving the underlying problem is the only way to improve their academic performance.

What causes Amblyopia in kids?

The human brain interprets overlapping images coming from both eyes into one clear picture. But if both the eyes aren’t perfectly aligned or have different spectacle numbers, the images coming from them do not synchronize, and the brain confuses about processing the images or inputs. In response, the brain suppresses the poor quality image leading to Suppression. Suppression essentially means that the brain ignores the visual signals provided by one eye, typically the weaker eye. This is the primary cause of Amblyopia in kids and adults.
