Don’t Let Amblyopia Hold Your Child Back
A child’s healthy vision is the foundation for their confidence, learning ability, and personal development. Yet, one silent condition continues to affect many children worldwide: amblyopia, often called “lazy eye.” This condition, if not recognized early, can lead to long-term vision problems that neither glasses nor surgery can fully correct later in life. According to statistics from the Vietnam–Russia International Eye Hospital, one in three children with myopia also suffers from amblyopia. The numbers highlight an urgent call for early detection and treatment.
What is Amblyopia?
Amblyopia is a developmental vision disorder in which one or both eyes fail to achieve normal visual acuity, even with corrective lenses. Unlike refractive errors such as myopia or hyperopia that can be corrected by glasses, amblyopia involves reduced communication between the eye and the brain. The brain begins to “ignore” the weaker eye, favoring the stronger one, which leads to further deterioration if left untreated.
The most common causes include:
-
Uncorrected refractive errors: Myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism not properly addressed with glasses.
-
Strabismus: Misalignment of the eyes, causing the brain to suppress input from one eye to avoid double vision.
-
Congenital conditions: Such as ptosis (drooping eyelid), congenital myopia, or congenital cataracts that obstruct clear vision.
The alarming reality is that amblyopia cannot be resolved by simply wearing glasses. If not treated during the so-called “golden period” before the age of 8–10, children may permanently lose the chance to regain full visual potential.
Modern treatment methods, including vision therapy with specialized equipment, eye patching or penalization of the stronger eye, and personalized amblyopia training programs, have been proven effective worldwide.
At hospitals like the Vietnam–Russia International Eye Hospital, children benefit from European-standard devices and individualized care plans, ensuring not only improved eyesight but also enhanced learning ability and confidence in daily activities.
How Amblyopia Affects Learning and Development
Healthy eyes are the foundation for children to confidently learn and explore the world. Amblyopia not only causes blurred vision but also:
- Makes it difficult for children to concentrate in class, leading to eye strain when reading or looking at the board.
- Reduces hand–eye coordination, affecting sports and fine motor skills.
- Causes low self-esteem, less interest in studying, and poor social interaction with peers.
Without treatment, amblyopia carries the risk of lifelong vision reduction.
