Amblyopia, or a “lazy eye” refers to poor vision in an eye that did not develop normal sight during childhood. This common condition affects approximately two or three out of every 100 people. If one eye develops normally and the other does not, the eye with poorer vision is amblyopic.
It happens in every family – usually when you have a thousand other things going on. One of the kids comes home from soccer practice or a friends house with a black eye. Don’t panic. Here’s how we recommend treating eye bruising: First, check for signs of more serious symptoms. If the vision is blurred, double vision, visible blood, or inability to move the eye, those could be indicators of a more serious eye problem. Call an ilumin ophthalmologist right away for medical attention.
