Amblyopia treatment in Irapuato

Amblyopia, popularly known as "lazy eye," is a decrease in vision in one or both eyes that develops in childhood when the brain and the eye do not work together properly.

Why does it appear? It may originate from significant differences in prescription between the two eyes, from strabismus, or from obstacles that prevent a clear image during the first years of life.

When is a checkup advisable? Since it often does not cause obvious discomfort, vision checkups in childhood help detect it in time, especially if one eye is noticed to drift or the child squints.

Who treats it? The ophthalmologist is the right professional to evaluate amblyopia. Scheduling an early evaluation usually makes a big difference in visual development.
