Research Notes on Amblyopia

Amblyopia, otherwise known as lazy eye, is a disorder of the visual system that is characterized by poor or indistinct vision in an eye that is otherwise physically normal, or out of proportion to associated structural abnormalities. The problem is caused by either no transmission or poor transmission of the visual image to the brain for a sustained period of dysfunction or during early childhood. ...read more from Wikipedia

Fast Facts:

  • It has been estimated to affect 1-5% of the population.
  • Amblyopia normally only affects one eye, but is possible to be amblyopic in both eye if both are similarly deprived of a good, clear visual image.
  • Detecting the condition in early childhood increases the chance of successful treatment.
  • Treatment of amblyopia consists of correcting the optical deficit and forcing use of the amblyopic eye, either by patching the good eye, or by instilling topical atropine in the eye with better vision.
