The cure for lazy eye.
The use of the term lazy eye blurs the distinction between amblyopia and strabismus, often causing parents to confuse the two problems. Parents often infer a causal explanation from the descriptive term, lazy eye. This misunderstanding causes parents to believe the child may outgrow the disorder. Therefore, an opportunity for early treatment during the important formative years may be lost. The correctly informed and knowledgeable parent will be more active and responsible in making sure that the child, especially the noncompliant child, follows the advised treatment.
