Amblyopia

Ambyopia

What is Amblyopia?

Amblyopia, or “lazy eye,” occurs when one eye is weaker than the other. The brain chooses to take in images from the stronger eye and ignore images from the weaker eye. This means that your child uses the strong eye more than the weak eye. If the weak eye is unused, it is unable to develop good vision. This leads to poor vision in the weaker eye. The condition affects approximately 2 to 3 out of every 100 children and is the most common cause of visual impairment in childhood. The problem starts between birth and about age 7. Your child may not even know that he or she is using only one eye. Ignoring the images from the weak eye is an automatic response. Your child has no control over it. Early treatment can often reverse amblyopia. The younger your child is when treatment starts, the more likely your child is to have good vision. Because amblyopia can result in permanent vision loss in one eye, it is important to have a child with amblyopia tested regularly by an eye doctor.

Symptoms of Amblyopia

    1. AmblyopiaEye(s) that turn in or out
    2. Eyes that do not appear to work together
    3. Inability to judge depth correctly
    4. Poor vision in one eye
    5. Eyelids that appear droopy
    6. Double Vision

Treatment for Amblyopia

For achieving the best results in amblyopia therapy, total visual deprivation of the stronger eye is often recommended. For this reason, eye patches that adhere to the skin around the eye are most effective. Strap-on “pirate’s patches” and patches worn over glasses are less effective and only occasionally recommended. At first, the child will have a hard time seeing with just the weaker eye. However, it is very important that your child wear the patch diligently because this will eventually improve vision. It can take weeks or months for an eye patch to improve vision. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and that your child is monitored closely during treatment.

Eye Exam Rosin Care Reviews

I loved my visit here. I had a great doctor and I highly recommend her. She made the visit easy and smooth but was very detailed in her work. She was very open to my suggestions and gave me lots of options as far as lenses and gave me advice on how to improve my eyesight. The best visit with an Optometrist that I have ever had!

Dr. Sheila O'Shaughnessy at Rosin Eyecare in ChicagoWhat is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
