How do people get lazy eyes?!


Question: How do people get lazy eyes!?
Answers:
A variety of ways, but the common factor is a failure of the brain to develop efficient neural connection with the affected eye in early childhood!.

Most commonly, this involves the brain being unable to manage binocular vision due to eye alignment or image quality issues*, and one eye develops as the preferred one, while the other becomes neglected!.
Without this effect the individual (about one person in thirty or forty)would be faced with permanent double vision, so it is a functional compromise!.
The eye and brain are much more adaptable, "plastic", at a very young age, and later in life, there is much less chance of "rewiring" the eye/brain link through visual training and patching of the better eye!.
It used to be thought age 8 was about the limit, but it's now known not to be quite as sharp a cut-off as that!.



*strabismus, moderate to high hyperopia, anisometropia: there is often a familial tendency, but often it is not a simple inheritance!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
