Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)

Amblyopia is a brain problem first. It is often referred to as “lazy eye.” The condition results in loss of visual function involving reduced eye sight in one eye, loss of depth perception, delays in visual information processing, visual-motor coordination and can have an impact on quality of life.

It is the most common form of reversible blindness. Some things to keep in mind if you our your child has amblyopia:

• it’s never too late (or you are never too old) to treat this condition, amblyopia does not always go away with patching alone

• stereo blindness and deficient depth perception can still be present when patching has given the patient 20/20 eyesight.

• occlusion therapy is an outdated and ineffective approach to a complex and serious vision disorder.

At West Suburban Vision Therapy Center, we offer cutting edge treatment options for amblyopia.
