• #31 THE SYMPTOMS OF AMBLYOPIA (aka 'LAZY EYE’) MAY SURPRISE YOU

  https://madisonmom.com/lazy-eye/

  Amblyopia is a condition that affects somewhere around 2 to 4 percent of children. […] What’s especially concerning about amblyopia — or “lazy eye” as it’s more commonly called — is that it can be difficult to detect. […] Amblyopia often begins in infancy and can be challenging to identify outside of a comprehensive Functional Vision Exam. […] To complicate matters, children with amblyopia may not even realize their vision is functioning abnormally because they have no frame of reference to judge their vision against. […] Even though this vision problem can be difficult to detect, parents can be alert for potential symptoms like the following: […] Since amblyopia prevents or greatly impairs binocular depth perception, children with the condition can: Have pronounced difficulty catching objects, seem clumsy and frequently bump into objects, walls, and other people, misjudge the proximity of another person when conversing. […] Amblyopia and reading difficulties in particular can go hand in hand. The condition can affect children’s school performance and cause them to: Struggle when identifying letters and learning to read, read more slowly than normal, have delayed focus when looking up at the board.

  https://www.childrenshospital.org/conditions/strabismus-and-amblyopia

  Amblyopia from strabismus occurs when vision does not develop normally during childhood because the eyes are not aligned. […] Babies and children with strabismus should be checked right away to prevent amblyopia, which results in loss of vision and depth perception, due to the misaligned eye. Amblyopia can occur even if the eye is only slightly misaligned because a developing child’s brain will stop communicating with that eye, shutting it off. […] If strabismus is treated early, your child will have a better chance to use his or her eyes together to develop binocular vision and depth perception. It’s also important to treat strabismus soon after diagnosis to avoid the onset of amblyopia, which can result in permanent vision loss.

  https://www.ecvaeyecare.com/2020/02/20/amblyopia-lazy-eye-in-adults/

  In many cases, amblyopia is detectable during a vision screening as well. Since eye exams look at visual acuity in a variety of scenarios, the visual acuity reduction can typically be identified. […] The reason these conditions can lead to amblyopia is the difference in visual capability. If one eye is capable of seeing clearly, but the other isnt, the brain suppresses the information that is coming from the latter eye. That processing change can result in permanent vision loss. […] Many people believe that amblyopia is only treatable in children, often those who are 12 years of age or younger. However, this isnt necessarily the case. While every patient is different, some adults can see results from amblyopia treatment. […] Typically, eye patching or drops alone isnt sufficient. While this may increase the visual acuity of the amblyopic eye, the approach isnt guaranteed to result in better binocular vision (when both eyes work together). Without training to learn how to combine visuals from both eyes simultaneously, the overall results tend to be lackluster and dont often stand the test of time.
