From birth, infants can only clearly see objects 8 to 10 inches from their face. By 12 to 18 weeks their vision should be improving allowing them to see further away. Amblyopia, also called lazy eye, is reduced vision that results from the misalignment of the eyes (strabismus), a need for glasses (refractive error), or disruption of light passing through the eye. If recognized during the preschool years, amblyopia generally responds well to treatment by a children’s optometrist. Signs and symptoms of amblyopia include misaligned eyes, squinting, bumping into objects, poor depth perception, head tilting, and double vision. Amblyopia therapy can include eyeglasses, eye patching, eye drops, and in some cases eye surgery.

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a condition in which people can see objects close to them clearly, but objects farther away appear blurry. Myopia typically occurs if the cornea is too curved or the eyeball is too long. As a result, light entering the eye isn’t focused correctly, and distant objects are blurred.

Tips for Reducing the Risk of Cataracts

A cataract is an eye condition caused by the clouding of the crystalline lens. The eye has a natural lens that focuses light on the retina. As the lens matures, it becomes denser and more opaque. This blocks light from passing through the lens. Cataracts are very common for anyone over the age of 40 and can lead to blindness if left untreated. Visiting your eye doctor annually can help you better manage the condition. Also, your eye doctor will screen you for diseases like macular degeneration and glaucoma, which can require complicated treatment if you have cataracts.
