What causes the eye disorder amblyopia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Amblyopia: Amblyopia is a condition where there is a loss of vision this is common in children with lazy eyes or strabismus. That is why it's very important for pediatricians to make its early diagnosis because treatment will help prevent ensuing blindness.
