Amblyopia, also known as lazy eye, is a vision disorder in which the vision in one eye is reduced due to the lack of use. It is the most common cause of vision impairment in children and is estimated to affect 2-3% of the population. Amblyopia is typically caused by misalignment of the eyes, unequal refractive errors, or a combination of both. Treatment for amblyopia typically involves the use of optical devices such as eyeglasses, contact lenses, and patching.
