Introduction On Lazy Eyes

According to National Eye Institute, for childrens decreased vision

, lazy eye is the main cause. And there are 2% to 3% children who are suffering from lazy eyes. Therefore, lazy eyes are drawing more and more parents attention nowadays. You may wonder to know what lazy eye is, the causes for lazy eye and how to treat it. Please read ahead and the following will give you some introduction on lazy eyes.

We often use lazy to describe some people, and do you know our eyes can also be lazy? Yes, it is true. Lazy eye is also called amblyopia, which means one eye does not work as hard as the other, and so this eye can not follow the other one, which leads to poor vision for children. Researches show premature-born children are more likely to get this eye disease. Moreover, other family members may inherit this eye disease.

Then what are the causes for lazy eyes? The main cause is anatomic abnormality, for example, if children have irregular eye shapes, or their two eye shapes are different, they will easily get this eye disease. In addition, some eye problems, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and cataract can also lead people to lazy eye. And according to Mayo Clinic, the most possible cause for lazy eye is strabismus. For people with strabismus, their muscles for eye position are imbalance, and finally lead the eyes to cross in or turn out.

The earlier we detect the lazy eye, the better and easier we can treat it. So it is a must to take our children to do some eye tests at a regular basis. For the exact treatment of lazy eye, we have to say the treatments are different based on exact causes. In common cases, people have to wear corrective eyewear to treat their eye diseases. And in order to practice the visual ability of the weak eye, the eye doctor will ask children to wear a patch to cover the good eye, and then only use the weak eye to see. In this way, the visual ability of the weak eye will be improved. For people with some anatomic abnormalities, they may need to take some surgeries to repair irregular or different eye shapes.

If our children are unlucky to have lazy eye, dont worry too much, we can take them to the eye doctor to do some treatments. Usually, the vision can be improved for weeks or several months. Please keep in mind, the earlier we find the lazy eye, the easier and better we can treat it.
