Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)

Squint EyeHere at Brain Vision Institute, we specialize in helping our patients who have amblyopia.

Amblyopia is also known as “lazy eye.” Amblyopia usually exhibits in infants and typically only affects one of the eyes.

About two to three percent of people in the United States suffer from some form of amblyopia.

As with most diseases, the earlier amblyopia is detected, the better. Because of this, it is really important to have your eyes checked on a regular basis.

One big sign of amblyopia is being crossed eyed. If you or your child is experiencing this, make sure that you book an appointment with your eye doctor right away. Another common symptom is being able to see properly only out of one eye.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to make an appointment. Our trusted and qualified staff will perform an examination.

If you are diagnosed with amblyopia, there are lots of treatment options available. Many people have some success with glasses and contacts, though we also offer vision therapy which can be really helpful.

Improvements are possible at any age. Many people do not realize that there are treatments that can help amblyopia.

If you have any questions about amblyopia or the services we can provide to help this, contact us today at (630) 429-7553.
