Amboliopia, often known as “laziness of the eye”, is a neurological and evolutionary vision problem that occurs during infancy or childhood. People with amblyopia usually experience vision reduction in one eye and one eye is clearer than the other. Lazy eye treatment, which is performed in one of the most effective ways called Vision therapy, is one of the most important measures to treat laziness and prevent their vision.
Soroush Optical and Vision Treatment Clinic performs their treatment under the supervision of committed therapists with the most equipped facilities and devices, using the most effective therapies, under the supervision of experienced optometrists in the field of Vision Therapy. Soroush Clinic Clinic Vision Treatment specialists treat the embolism in new ways for more effective results and use the latest technology and methods to develop binoculars and depth understanding that has made treatment for all ages.
Lazy Eye and the Destructive Consequences of Ignoring It
Amblyopia is a serious eye disease that affects vision. In this vision problem, the brain begins to ignore the image from one eye and only uses the eye with clear vision. As the disease progresses, the brain relies more on the stronger eye, and the vision of the eye that is used less often becomes weaker and weaker, and this imbalance causes a large difference in the visual abilities between the eyes. If treatment for a lazy eye in children is not done on time, it will worsen over time and cause one eye to no longer see as well as the other, even when wearing glasses, and this neglect has caused children to unfortunately experience this vision problem for life.
Amblyopia is the leading cause of vision loss among children, and 2 to 3 out of every 100 children are affected by it. If amblyopia is not treated in a timely manner, it can have a negative impact on a child’s personality, work, school, sports, friendships, and may even lead to depression.
Who is at risk for amblyopia?
Children who are most at risk for amblyopia are those with a family history of eye problems, developmental disabilities, being born early (premature), or having a low birth weight.
Symptoms of lazy eye
Sometimes the symptoms of amblyopia are not obvious, this condition is often not detected until the child has an eye exam. Therefore, treatment of amblyopia in children should be done regularly and on time. But some of the symptoms that indicate that a child has amblyopia are as follows:
– Frequently bumping into objects in a certain direction, parents often say that their child is clumsy and seems to be more inclined to bump into or bump into objects.
– Sometimes seeing a drooping eyelid
– Blinking and closing one eye when performing eye tasks
– Tilting the head to one side
– People with amblyopia have poor depth perception and have difficulty seeing three-dimensional images
What eye diseases can lead to embolism?
Refractive defects: These conditions affect the way light passing through the eye, which is:
– myopia, difficulty in distant vision
– Camera, difficult to see closely and away
– Astigmatism, bent cornea
Strubism (deviant eyes): The eyes are supposed to move together in pairs, but sometimes it is not. If one moves inward, out, up or down, the brain may prefer the image of an eye, which results in embolism.
Structural Problems: Sometimes the eye has a structural problem that can lead to reduced vision, including cataracts that cause lenses and blurred vision, astigmatism, eyelid drooping, wounds on the cornea. Vision is due to pathological problems of the eye.
Visual therapy is usually recommended for the treatment of laziness of the children and other patients with amblyopia.
Vision Therapy and One Way to Treat Amblyopia in Children and Adults
Since there is a strong connection between the brain and the visual system to understand and interpret the images presented by the eye. In some people, due to vision problems, the connection between these two systems develops slowly and requires treatment. Vision therapy is an effective, non-surgical eye treatment for children and adults that is performed under the supervision of an optometrist to treat many common vision problems such as amblyopia, deviated eyes (strabismus), double vision, convergence insufficiency and eye accommodation deficiency, and eye jerking and jumping movements caused by learning due to vision conditions.
Your optometrist may recommend vision therapy as an individual program to strengthen the connection between the eye and the brain. During vision therapy, the optometrist teaches your visual system exercises and activities that help your brain process and interpret visual information, often leading to improved reading, writing, and concentration. This type of therapy, which is useful for treating amblyopia in children and adults, is prescribed by an optometrist according to the patient’s specific needs and uses various equipment such as prisms, filters, corrective lenses, brain stimulation, and computer-based training boards to better utilize the teamwork of the eyes for vision therapy treatment. Patients should also perform the exercises given by the optometrist at home regularly.
Vision therapy helps to support and modify the following eye conditions:
Connectory and matching, double -trace problems, attention -related problems, visual fatigue, binoculars’ coordination disorder, depth understanding issues, strabismus (deviant eyes), embolism (laziness)
Important functions of Vision therapy that are a kind of eye physiotherapy
An easy way to better understand the function of Vision therapy is to call it a physiotherapy for the eyes and the brain. In Vision therapy, the team’s team performance, tracking, symmetry, visual perception, eye and hand coordination and integration with the visual -motor system and enhancement of attention and vision focus are reinforced with learning and vision improvement.
Vision therapy improves speed, flexibility, endurance and response accuracy (eye concentration), motor treatment (eye team), and motor visual skills (eye tracking).
Vision therapy also helps develop higher levels of vision skills, such as the speed of visual information processing and related motor responses (visual reaction speed and eye and hand coordination).
