Introduction
Lazy eye, medically known as amblyopia, is a visual development disorder in which one eye fails to achieve normal vision despite being structurally healthy.
It usually begins in early childhood but can persist into adulthood if left untreated, leading to reduced visual acuity, poor depth perception, and eye–brain coordination problems.
Modern ophthalmology and vision therapy approaches now allow effective amblyopia treatment in both children and adults, especially when diagnosed early.
