Question:

Is there any cure for lazy eye?

esply at toddler age.


Answers:

yes there are some corrective measures that you as a parent could do.

First, for all your concerns i would go seek a professional for their input, preferably your child's optometrist... the earlier its treated the better chances of it being corrected.


here's my input though...

to correct amblyopia, the blurry eye must first be forced to work in order to allow the opportunity for clear vision to develop. This is usually done by patching the clear eye for specific periods of time, forcing the blurry eye to "turn on" so that visual cells are stimulated, allowing clearer vision to develop. Secondly, glasses are prescribed to provide the blurry eye with the best support possible. Finally, if the underlying cause of the lazy eye is strabismus, then the eye turn must also be addressed.

In addition to glasses, there are three different approaches to the treatment of a lazy eye: 1) patching alone, 2) patching combined with surgery, and 3) patching combined with vision therapy. It is imperative that parents of a child with a lazy eye fully understand their treatment options so they can make the best choice for their child.
