If you have an older, drafty house, it can be kind of hard to keep temperature even and comfortable from room to room. We get a lot of inquiries here at Birdtricks about how cold is too cold for our parrots. The concerns generally stem from the knowledge that many parrot species originate from warm climates.
Astigmatism in only one eye may cause lazy eye (amblyopia) if present from birth. The affected eye does not 'learn' how to see because the brain ignores the signals it receives. Amblyopia can be treated with eye patching if diagnosed early enough, before the vision pathways in the brain are fully developed.
Astigmatism Symptoms. Astigmatism usually causes vision to be blurred or distorted to some degree at all distances. Symptoms of uncorrected astigmatism are eye strain and headaches, especially after reading or other prolonged visual tasks. Squinting also is a very common symptom.he steepest and flattest meridians of an eye with astigmatism are called the principal meridians. In some cases, astigmatism is caused by the shape of the lens inside the eye. This is called lenticular astigmatism, to differentiate it from the more common corneal astigmatism.
