Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)

One of the most common vision problems in kids is amblyopia (also called "lazy eye"). This is when one eye, or both, sends a blurry image to the brain. The brain then 鈥渓earns鈥 to see blurry. But聽treatment for amblyopia can correct the way the eye and brain work together to help strengthen your child's vision. At 糖心Vlog Children's, our kids' eye specialists are trained to detect amblyopia and provide expert care to treat it.
