Facts about Lazy Eye (Amblyopia) in Children

The Importance of Vision Screening in Lazy Eye

As said earlier, a vision screening is strongly recommended in kids and young children to reduce the risks of lazy eye. When this condition is detected early, it will increase the possibility of treating it successfully. Indeed, pediatricians often perform frequent vision examinations on young children, especially newborn babies to find out possible issues that might be resolved to prevent lazy eye from developing and worsening. In addition, the pediatrician might suggest a complete eye check by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. [3]
