Do "lazy eyes" get worse over time?
What causes lazy eyes in the first place?
Lazy eyes happen when one eye is weaker than the other and the brain starts to favor the stronger eye, leading to a decreased ability to use the weaker eye. This can occur due to various factors such as strabismus (misalignment of the eyes), refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism), or a physical obstruction to vision such as a cataract.
