Please tell me if it is possible to develop lazy eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complex issue: The label "lazy eye" is commonly used for the condition amblyopia. This develops if the brain begins to "turn off" the visual input of an eye that provides distorted or poorly aligned (double image) input.The eyes can appear to be aligned normally or not.By definition, one eye is dominant, providing most or all of the visual information used by the brain. It can develop at any age.
