A member asked:
Is there anything that typically causes a lazy eye? is it the muscle thats the problem or a part of the brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The interaction of : Both. From birth - ~ 6 years of age, anything that blocks or blurs vision in one or both eyes disrupts the normal development of connections between the eyes & brain, ultimately causing the child's brain to ignore signals from the eye with ⬇ed vision. The most common reason is misalignment of the eyes. See other causes on http://m.Kidshealth.Org/parent/general/eyes/amblyopia.Html.
