Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) Treatment:
A Path to Clearer Vision
Amblyopia, often called “lazy eye,” is one of the most common vision development disorders in children — but with early detection and the right treatment, it can often be corrected. This condition occurs when one eye doesn’t develop normal vision, often because the brain begins to favor the stronger eye and ignore the weaker one. Without proper care, amblyopia can lead to permanent vision loss in the affected eye.
What Causes Amblyopia?
Amblyopia can develop due to:
🔹 Strabismus (when the eyes are misaligned, such as crossed eyes)
🔹 Significant difference in prescription between the two eyes
🔹 Obstruction (such as a cataract) that blocks clear vision in one eye
Signs Parents Should Watch For:
One eye that drifts or wanders Squinting or closing one eye Poor depth perception Complaints of blurry vision in one eye
Early Diagnosis Makes All the Difference
The sooner amblyopia is detected, the more effective treatment can be. During a comprehensive pediatric eye exam, Dr. Belgrave thoroughly evaluates how well each eye sees — both on its own and working together with the other eye.

Treatment plans are customized based on your child’s age, the cause of amblyopia, and how much vision is affected. Options may include:
👓 Corrective glasses or contact lenses
