Early Diagnosis, Effective Treatment

Amblyopia, also known as amblyopia, is a condition in which the brain ignores visual signals coming from one eye and pays more attention to the other eye. It usually occurs in childhood, before the age of 3, and if left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss. With early diagnosis and effective treatment, it is possible to protect children’s eye health and prevent future vision problems.

Amblyopia generally refers to the condition in which the visual acuity in one eye is significantly lower than in the other eye. This condition usually occurs during childhood, especially before the age of 7, due to a factor that prevents the normal development of the eyes. Conditions such as premature birth, cataracts, and strabismus may cause amblyopia.

As Asian Eye Diseases Center, our primary goal is to protect and improve children’s eye health.
