Amblyopia is the medical term used when the vision in one of the eyes is reduced because the eye and the brain are not working together properly. The eye itself looks normal, but it is not being used normally because the brain is favoring the other eye. This condition is also sometimes called lazy eye.
There are a number of causes associated with amblyopia, or lazy eye. In fact, almost any vision development condition can cause it. Common causes include strabismus, or imbalanced eye position. You'll notice strabismus if the eyes cross or if both eyes turn outward. Someone may also develop amblyopia if one eye is more farsighted or nearsighted than its counterpart.
