most common child eye disorder
Amblyopia (lazy eye) is defined as a reduction in best-corrected visual acuity that is not directly attributable to any structural abnormality of the eye or visual pathway. With a prevalence of 2 percent,6 it is the most common cause of uncorrectable loss of vision in children. The visual outcome can range from 20/25, or nearly normal, to worse than 20/200, or legally blind. With effective detection and early treatment, most vision loss associated with this condition can be avoided.
