The term amblyopia, or more commonly “lazy eye,” denotes that condition in which there is a greater reduction in visual acuity (i.e., quality of vision) in one eye than in the other.
Amblyopia is usually unilateral (affecting only one eye), but it can also occur bilaterally (i.e., affecting both eyes).
The treatment that is used in our Center aims to maximize the performance of the amblyopic subject through:
-
Use of eyeglasses – the lenses progressively stimulate the eyes to have an increasingly better quality of vision.
-
Conducting visual skills enhancement sessions – the training aims to stimulate the lazy eye to work in a coordinated and simultaneous manner with the other eye, through specific visual training techniques.
