Lazy Eye A visual disorder that affects 1-5% of the general population, which is characterised by poor vision in an eye that is either physically normal, or not as bad as eye tests suggest
lazy eye Suppression amblyopia Ophthalmology Subnormal visual acuity in the non-dominant eye despite appropriate correction of refractive errors, due to an early visual defect/amblyopia–eg, strabismus, farsightedness, myopia,
astigmatism, or cataract; with time, the stronger eye dominates and retains good vision; neural connections between the brain and nondominant eye fail to develop normally, and the brain eventually ignores visual information from that eye; LE vision
thus lacks depth perception. See Strabismus. How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |
