Otherwise known as "lazy eye", amblyopia is a condition in which one of the eyes acuity is dramatically different than the other. The brain shuts off or suppresses the images from one eye in order to maintain a single image. For some reason the coordination that is needed in order to maintain good vision is not gained and the eye develops this adaptation in order to compensate for visual confusion. Visual therapy, triggers the process of development and the brain is taught to use both eyes effectively |
