Amblyopia treatment addresses reduced vision in one eye, commonly known as “lazy eye,” which occurs when the brain favors one eye over the other. If untreated, amblyopia can lead to permanent vision loss in the affected eye. Treatment begins with a comprehensive eye exam to identify the underlying cause, such as strabismus, refractive error, or cataract. Early diagnosis is critical, particularly in children, as treatment is most effective during visual development. Treatment options may include corrective glasses, patching the stronger eye to encourage use of the weaker eye, or vision therapy exercises. In some cases, surgery may be required to address the underlying cause. With consistent treatment and follow-up, amblyopia can often be significantly improved, especially when addressed early in childhood.
