Nicole is here to see the consultant regarding a squint in her eye. If left untreated, it could become a lazy eye!
Here are some facts that I discovered, as I was reading the literature in the waiting room.
A newborn cannot see as well as an adult.
Vision continues to improve over the 1st few years of life, reaching adult levels by 4 to 5 years of age.
For normal vision development, both eyes must be straight or aligned, and each eye must see a clear image all the time.
When an eye constantly sees a blurred image,the brain will "turn off" the eye. The visual system does not develop normally, and the eye will become lazy or amblyopic.
Amblyopic is therefore poor vision in an eye that does not develop normal sight during early childhood. It is sometimes called a "lazy eye"
Ok, get ready for part 2, as we are going to see the doctor soon!
