Amblyopia Explained
Amblyopia, often referred to as lazy eye, is characterized by decreased vision in one or both eyes due to abnormal development during childhood. At birth, vision is rudimentary, but as the brain learns to see through neural pathway development, it processes visual input from the eyes. However, if this developmental process is interrupted, vision does not develop normally, and the brain learns to interpret visual input as blurry. This condition results in decreased vision that cannot be fully corrected with glasses, especially in adulthood.
