A member asked:
How serious is amblyopia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: This is a condition of lowered vision usually from childhood issues. The eye commonly looks normal but does not see as well as the others. Most fully adapt to this and have no visual handicap. A few occupations require excellent vision in both eyes and amblyopia is a barrier for them.
