Eventually, the ability of the eyes to work together decreases, and the brain suppresses or ignores input from the weaker eye. Anything that blurs a child's vision or causes the eyes to cross or turn out may result in lazy eye. Common causes of the condition include: Muscle imbalance (strabismus). The most common cause of lazy eye is an imbalance in the muscles that position the eyes. This imbalance can cause the eyes to cross in or turn out, and prevents them from tracking together in a coordinated way.
Amblyopia (from Greek Î±Î¼Î²Î»ÏÏÏÎ¯Î±, blunt vision), also called lazy eye, is a disorder of sight. It results in decreased vision in an eye that otherwise appears normal, or out of proportion to associated structural problems of the eye. Whenever the brain does not receive visual signals from an eye for a long period of time, there is a risk of amblyopia. It also can occur when the brain turns off the visual processing of one eye to prevent double-vision, for example in strabismus (crossed eyes). The cause of amblyopia is within the brain.
