Lazy eye (health) and exculpate (iou)


Lazy eye (health)


A term often used instead of amblyopia. A loss of visual function, usually measured by visual acuity, in one or both eyes that cannot be explained by identifiable causes(s) such as a cataract or retinal disease. An eye that turns in (esotropia) or out (exotropia) may have a certain degree of central visual loss (amblyopia). A lazy eye is often treated by placing a patch over the stronger eye and forcing use of the lazy eye. The earlier the detection of the lazy eye the better for recovery of central vision with patching. If left untreated, after the age of about 8 or 9 years, patching therapy is no longer effective and the child will have a permanent loss of vision and loss of binocular vision and depth perception.
