Lazy Eye (Amblyopia)
Eye Exam
Specialized lazy eye tests for amblyopia are an important part of every comprehensive functional infant or child’s eye exam. A standard eye exam will not detect this serious vision impairment that affects 2 to 3 percent of all children. Getting the right testing for lazy eye is crucial.
Amblyopia affects not just visual acuity (how well we see), but also accommodation (focusing ability), eye movements, depth perception, and visual processing.
We are experts in the testing and treatment of all types of binocular vision conditions, including lazy eye (amblyopia).
NOTE: Other binocular vision impairments, such as Strabismus or Convergence Insufficiency can cause or be mistaken for lazy eye. However, lazy eye (amblyopia) is a separate medical diagnosis and is not the same as a diagnosis of Strabismus or Convergence Insufficiency.
