Amblyopia: Understanding and Treating Lazy Eye | Shekar Eye Hospital

In this video, Dr. Srushti D S, a pediatric ophthalmologist and squint surgeon at Shekar Eye Hospital, discusses amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye. Amblyopia is a condition where the eye and its microstructures function normally, yet the patient experiences blurred vision because the brain has adapted to seeing this way since early childhood. This condition often arises due to factors like high refractive errors, misalignment of the eyes, or a blockage of visual impulses reaching the brain through one eye. Early detection and treatment of amblyopia are crucial to prevent long-term vision problems.
Preventing amblyopia is vital because, although it can be treated later, the process of retraining the brain to see clearly can be lengthy and requires significant effort. Treatment options include addressing the underlying risk factors, patching therapy, and utilising newer advancements that not only improve vision in amblyopic eyes but also enhance overall visual function. It's essential to be aware of these conditions and proactively safeguard our children's vision. Thank you.
