Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) Treatment at Dr. Sushma Kumari’s Advanced Eye Clinic

Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, is a vision development disorder that occurs when one eye fails to achieve normal visual acuity, even with corrective lenses. This condition typically develops in early childhood and, if left untreated, can lead to permanent vision impairment in the affected eye. At Dr. Sushma Kumari’s Advanced Eye Clinic, we offer specialized treatments to manage and correct amblyopia, helping patients, especially children, achieve optimal vision.

Amblyopia can be caused by several factors, including strabismus (misaligned eyes), refractive errors (such as significant differences in prescription between the eyes), or cataracts that impair vision in one eye. Early diagnosis and intervention are critical to achieving the best outcomes, as the brain is more adaptable in childhood.

Treatment for amblyopia typically includes a combination of the following approaches:

• Eye Patching: The most common treatment, where the stronger eye is covered with a patch to encourage the brain to use the weaker eye. This helps stimulate the visual development of the affected eye.
