Do you know a child that has lazy eye or are you affected by lazy eye? Amblyopia, also known as “lazy eye”, is a known eye problem that is discovered in millions of children every year. This condition causes the brain to minimize the use of one particular eye over another. This will cause vision in one eye to be significantly greater than the vision available in the other eye.
When a person has lazy eye, then the eye muscles within the affected eye are not as strong because it is being used less and less. The most common method of treatment for lazy eye is through the use of eye patching.
Eye patching helps to regain vision in the lazy eye and help to stimulate your brain to begin to use both eyes together again. The major cause of lazy eye is unknown. Yet, eye patching still remains a viable treatment for this condition. Eye patches can be worn for a varied length of time depending on the doctor’s recommendation. It can be anywhere from a couple of hours a day to eight to ten hours a day.
To assist with regaining vision in the needed eye, many optometrists recommend performing nearsighted activities while wearing the eye patch. Near sighted exercises are things that you can do to are in close proximity to your eye that will stimulate the eye more. Getting a toddler or a young child to wear an eye patch can be very challenging because wearing a patch feels very unnatural and causes them to use the eye where vision is not clear. However, the key to helping your child enjoy patching time is by finding exercises that your child can enjoy doing during patch time that can also be effective.

ReplyDeleteAmblyopia, also known as lazy eye, is a vision development disorder in which an eye fails to achieve normal visual acuity, even with prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses. Arizona eye care informed the public that amblyopia begins during infancy and early childhood. In most cases, only one eye is affected. However, in some cases, reduced visual acuity can occur in both eyes. If lazy eye is detected early in life and promptly treated, reduced vision can be avoided. If left untreated, lazy eye can cause severe visual disability in the affected eye, including legal blindness.

Hello Tammie, my son Bautista (8 years old) has been recently diagnosed with Amblyopia. Bautista is now using a patch (4 hours every day) + glasses. I am trying to get a copy of your book but it seems that shipments are not allowed to Uruguay (South America). Can I buy an online version?, please let me know. Thank you.
