Amblyopia
Amblyopia refers to reduced vision in one or both eyes caused by visual deprivation in childhood. That is, even with proper eyeglasses, an eye with amblyopia does not see well! It is often reversible with the appropriate treatment. The term "lazy eye" is often used to describe amblyopia.Amblyopia results from actual atrophy of the visual pathways in the brain that allow an individual eye to "see." That is, because of improper stimulation of the involved eye, the portion of the brain serving that eye does not develop properly.Amblyopia affects approximately 2% of all children. There is often a family history of this disorder. Unless an obvious abnormality is present (e.g. crossing of the eyes, a droopy eyelid or a dense cataract), amblyopia may have no obvious signs. When only one eye is affected, a young child will not usually complain of blurred vision or exhibit any unusual visual behavior.Fortunately, young children undergo vision screening periodically at their pediatrician's office and at school to detect amblyopia.
