Chronic pain: Pain (an unpleasant sense of discomfort) that persists or progresses over a long period of time. In contrast to acute pain that arises suddenly in response to a specific injury and is usually treatable, chronic pain persists over time and is often resistant to medical treatments.
Common causes of the condition include: 1  Muscle imbalance (strabismus). The most common cause of lazy eye is an imbalance in the muscles that position the eyes. 2  Difference in sharpness of vision between the eyes (refractive anisometropia).
And one of the many important factors to consider: your kidâs eyesight. If detected early enough, some vision issues can be fixed before they ever become a problem. In fact, the many exercises to help lazy eye in babies may help remedy your kidâs vision years before he ever has to read a blackboard. Having a lazy eye, or amblyopia, means that your child has reduced vision in one eye, and its focus may drift inward or outward, out of alignment with the stronger eye.
