Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, is the eye condition noted by reduced vision not correctable by glasses or contact lenses and is not due to any eye disease. This almost always affects only one eye but may manifest with reduction of vision in both eyes.Amblyopia can be successfully treated up to the age of 17.Early treatment is usually simple, employing glasses, drops, vision therapy and,or patching.However, treatment for older children and adults is usually successful in improving vision and should be attempted.
