3. 01. Introduction

4. Each patient with a binocular vision disorder has a unique story, and so requires a unique treatment. Bynocs provides many options for treating strabismus, amblyopia, and convergence insufficiency: eye patching, eye drops, lazy eye vision therapy, surgery, and eye exercises. There's also VR vision therapy, where the lazy eye treatment at home can also be done using a virtual reality headset. Every patient will need a unique combination of treatment options for the best chance at success.

5. 02. What is Lazy Eye?

6. What is Lazy Eye? Lazy eye, or Amblyopia, is a condition that causes poor vision ( visual acuity), usually in one eye. It affects about 3 out of every 100. Lazy eye is the non-scientific term for amblyopia. The condition results from the poor development of eye teaming. This is a crucial functional vision skill that enables both eyes to work together and focus on the same point in space. When they don’t, it leads to one or both eyes not seeing clearly. Moreover, because the brain doesn’t develop the ability to see clearly in one or both eyes, the eyesight of a person with amblyopia cannot be improved with glasses alone. The part of the brain responsible for this function is the visual cortex.

7. Parents and children have a hard time recognizing this disorder as the condition may develop only in one eye and may not be noticeable at first. This is why it’s important not to miss your eye doctor appointments yearly. Children with lazy eyes usually learn to ignore one eye and compensate for the other eye. If you notice your child shutting one eye, squinting, rubbing their eyes often, poor eye-hand coordination, difficulty with fine eye movements, poor eye focusing skills, reduced reading and comprehension, and a cross-eyed appearance, then it’s time to take them to an ophthalmologist for amblyopia treatment.

8. 03. What Causes Lazy Eye?

9. What Causes Lazy Eye? In most cases of amblyopia, one eye just isn’t seeing as clearly as the other. But why? Due to high degrees of nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and/or the presence of a constant eye turn, the brain has suppressed (or turned off) the information in one eye. This negatively impacts the development of clear vision. Normally, the brain receives two images at slightly different angles, and it combines them to produce a 3D image. This is called binocular vision. But that’s not the case with amblyopia. The suppression of information from one eye negatively impacts the development of binocular vision. As a result, it seems like one eye does all the work of seeing. Thus, the other eye is characterized as “lazy.”

13. How to fix Lazy Eye in Adults? 1.Vision therapy - Vision therapy is a series of exercises and activities that help a person improve their visual skills. In the case of lazy eye, vision therapy helps develop a person’s binocular vision. This is the most effective treatment as it addresses the root cause of amblyopia. 2.Glasses - Prescription lenses may be prescribed to help improve binocular vision. As we’ve noted in a previous post, the right lens prescription is critical, as it’s important to have a prescription that encourages binocular vision. 3.Eye patching - In some cases, forcing the weaker eye to work by blocking or fogging the favored eye with special lenses, an eye patch, or eye drops may be prescribed.
