Amblyopia

Amblyopia is the loss or lack of development of vision in (usually) one eye and is often associated with crossed eyes. The disfunction actually occurs in brain, not the eye itself and is unrelated to any eye health problem. Amblyopia is not correctable with lenses but patients can benefit from vision therapy. Work to correct Amblyopia can be started at any age but early detection and action offers the best chances for a complete cure.
