Lazy Eye treatment in Benito Juárez

Lazy eye, known in medical terms as amblyopia, is a decrease in vision in one of the eyes because the brain did not learn to properly process its images during childhood, even though the eye itself may look healthy.

Signs that may be noticed: an eye that drifts, difficulty judging distances, or the child closing or squinting one eye.

Why age matters: it usually develops in the first years of life, a stage in which early detection makes a big difference.

Which specialist evaluates it? The ophthalmologist performs the visual examination and guides follow-up. If you notice that one eye does not see the same as the other, scheduling an evaluation in time is the most advisable thing.
