The Doctor said that my daughter got Lazy Eyes. Does Anybody know about Lazy Eyes and the treatment for this kind of illness? I'm little confused to hear this news.
The official term in amblyopia. It's when for whatever reason, the brain does not accept the same amount of information from one eye as the other. It is usually treated with patching the good eye to force the brain to accept information from the weaker eye.
My daughter was diagnosed when she was 2 years old and has worn glasses since then, and probably always will.. She also had to have surgery to rearrange her eye muscles because the amblyopia led to strabismus, which is a physical problem where the eye muscles don't align the eye properly. She has seen her opthalmologist every 1-3 months for the last 4 and a half years.
There is a wide range of treatments, depending on how significant the issue is. If it isn't treated properly, it can lead to complete blindness in the weak eye. This is not something that is fixed with a pill or medicine. Glasses are normally the first thing that the doctors do to try to fix the problem.
I guess I would rather have an "ugly" little girl with glasses than a blind one! Although I do have to say that my daughter looks ADORABLE with her glasses.
Patches, glasses and exercises are all considered the first line of treatment while surgical options are usually reserved for cases where the improvement via these methods was not enough. If you want to jump straight to surgery, I would question why you would post in this community in the first place. I would sorry about a surgeon that would be quick with the knife esp when non-surgical interventions usually work very well!
Thank u for supporting me. I don't want sugery for my daughter. I hate hearing it.So, i will try exercise, glasses, or patches. But, if the doctor says that surgery is the last choice, i will, even it's hard to me and my daughter. Nowadays, my daughter consumes 3 parts of chlorophyl extract a day which contains rich of betacarotene that will strengthen the muscle of her eyes
