About Lazy Eye Treatment

Lazy eye, also known as amblyopia, is a vision-related disorder caused due to abnormal development of the vision in the early stages of life, i.e during infancy and childhood. Although it usually affects one eye, it may affect the vision in both eyes as well. Treatment of a lazy eye is highly essential in the early stages itself. Timely treatment can reduce the chances of long-term complications. However, lazy eye treatment is also possible among adults. The standard treatment options for lazy eye include eye patches, eye drops, corrective lenses or glasses and in some rare cases, surgery.

Symptoms Of Lazy Eye
  1. An inward or outward wandering eye
  2. Misaligned vision or strain in the eye
  3. Poor and inaccurate perception of depth
  4. Head tilting or eye squinting to focus clearly
  5. The continuous turning of the eye
  6. Eye fatigue or frequent headaches in adults
  7. Irritation in the eye
Causes Of Lazy Eye

Following are the three most common causes of a lazy eye in adults:

  1. Muscle imbalance: If there is an imbalance in the muscles around the eye, it prevents them from working together in synchronization and alignment. Muscle imbalance is the most common cause of lazy eye and leads to strabismus amblyopia.
  2. Imbalance in vision sharpness: Refractive issues like nearsightedness and farsightedness cause the eye surface to be uneven. If there are significant differences in the prescription for both eyes of a person, it may lead to one eye being much sharper than the other. This leads to refractive amblyopia.
  3. Deprivation for one eye: Cataract in one eye can cloud the vision. It causes the most severe type of lazy eye, also known as deprivation amblyopia.
Complications And Risks Of Lazy Eye Treatment

If a lazy eye does not receive proper treatment well in time, it may result in total loss of vision as an adult. However, the treatment itself carries risks like any other procedure. These complications include a complete loss of vision, increased eye irritation and insensitivity to light.

Correcting Lazy Eye In Adults

Even in adults, the treatment of a lazy eye is possible through a combination of various treatments. The treatments that can act as a cure for lazy eye in adults include:

Eye Patch For Lazy Eye Adults: As a treatment for correcting lazy eye in adults, doctors prescribe wearing an eye patch in the healthy eye. As the vision of the healthy eye is blocked, the weaker eye gets stimulated and forced to work. Doctors may advise wearing patches

Eye Drops For Lazy Eye In Adults: The concept of eye drops for lazy eye in adults is the same as an eye patch. Atropine is a substance used in eye drops that blurs the vision of the eye with the better vision. This results in simulation in the weaker eye to gain better focus. Doctors generally advise using this treatment at weekends or on weekdays only for a few hours.

Corrective Lenses Or Glasses: If the problem of lazy eye is not too severe, its symptoms like nearsightedness, farsightedness or other vision distortion issues are treatable through a corrective lens of appropriate prescription.

Vision Therapy: This particular kind of therapy includes exercises and activities that help in the development of a person’s vision. Activities under vision therapy include drawing, playing games, and visual puzzles, etc.

Testimonials

I did not realize I had issues in understanding the depth of objects until I was a teenager. Thanks to Hospals, I got it treated in time by the best doctors in India. Their services were very efficient and high-quality. Now I recommend Hospals to anyone who is looking to get any kind of eye treatment.

- Fatmia Ali, Iran

The packages offered by Hospals were not only comprehensive and all-inclusive, but they also helped me in reducing my overall expenses. Instead of burning a hole in my pocket by overcharging me for their services, Hospals helped me make effective use of my money and simultaneously gave me access to the best treatment facilities for lazy eye treatment.

- Ali Hussain, Bahrain

When I was exploring options to get lazy eye treatment for my mom, a friend introduced me to Hospals. All I had to do was contact them, and then they took over the complete treatment process. My mom did not have to go through any hassle before, during, or after the treatment.

- Faroq Mohm Oman

My two years old daughter was diagnosed with lazy eye last year in summer. We wanted only the best treatment for her and couldn’t have asked for better support. Hospals helped me in looking for the best doctors and hospitals in India and also arranged for everything else.

FAQs

The condition of a lazy eye arises when the vision of one eye is much better than the other. In such cases, the brain receives one clear and one blurred image and starts ignoring the blurred image. This continues for a long time. The eye with the blurred vision keeps getting worse, and this misalignment is what causes a lazy eye.
While there are simple tests like covering each eye one-by-one that the parents can do at home, they are not entirely reliable. In kids, a lazy eye might not be diagnosed without a complete eye examination and assessment. Especially in cases where there has been a family history of vision-related issues like cross-eye, the chances of getting a lazy eye in kids are higher .
Premature or abnormal birth, unusually small size after birth, growth disabilities, and family history are the primary factors that may increase the risk of a lazy eye in adults.
Yes. Even though lazy eye in adults can be treated, the best time to get the treatment for lazy eye is under the age of 9 as a child. With age, the vision deteriorates even further, and the lazy eye treatment for adults deals with vision affected for a prolonged period without any appropriate treatment. It takes more time and is more severe if treated for adults.
Doctors advise using both these treatments, eye drops, and eye patches at regular intervals for 3-6 months, and when combined with other treatments, this may take a bit longer to show results.
