What is the difference between an amblyopia and a strabismus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vision vs position : Amblyopia is the lowering of vision in one eye due to structural or position defects in infancy and childhood. Strabismus is the general term for eyes that are misaligned. Strabismus may cause amblyopia.. A pediatric ophthalmologist will deal with these issues in childhood but amblyopia in adults cannot usually be fixed.
