wat is amblyopia? explain the pros and cons?

Answer 1

Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, is the eye condition noted by reduced vision not correctable by glasses or contact lenses and is not due to any eye disease. The brain, for some reason, does not fully acknowledge the images seen by the amblyopic eye. This almost always affects only one eye but may manifest with reduction of vision in both eyes. It is estimated that three percent of children under six have some form of amblyopia. It usually presents as reduced vision in an eye that has not received adequate use during early childhood. Amblyopia has many causes. Most often it results from either a misalignment of a child's eyes, such as crossed eyes, or a difference in image quality between the two eyes (one eye focusing better than the other.) In both cases, one eye becomes stronger, suppressing the image of the other eye. If this condition persists, the weaker eye may become useless. With early diagnosis and treatment, the sight in the "lazy eye" can be restored. The earlier the treatment, the better the opportunity to reverse the vision loss. Before treating amblyopia, it may be necessary to first treat the underlying cause. Spectacles are commonly prescribed to improve focusing or misalignment of the eyes. Surgery may be performed on the eye muscles to straighten the eyes if non-surgical means are unsuccessful. Surgery can help in the treatment of amblyopia by allowing the eyes to work together better. Eye exercises may be recommended either before or after surgery to correct faulty visual habits associated with strabismus and to teach comfortable use of the eyes. There are more details with regard to this condition and you would be advised to seek the advice of your ophthalmic specialist for more information.

Answer 2

amblyopia is a condition that develops when you are in your early years of life before age 6. One or both of your eyes do not fully connect with the brain and as a result your vision is unable to reach 20/20 vision. There are no pros of having this. Some people are able to receive treatment with glasses or exercises when they are young and can correct amblyopia. Getting an eye exam while young is the key
