Lazy eye (amblyopia) is reduced vision in one eye caused by abnormal visual development early in life. The weaker â or lazy â eye often wanders inward or outward. Amblyopia generally develops from birth up to age 7 years. It is the leading cause of decreased vision in one eye among children. Rarely, lazy eye affects both eyes. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent long-term problems with your child's vision.
