Amblyopia

is uncorrectable vision, due to problems in visual development and is normally found in only one eye.  In Childhood, if one eye sees poorly while the other see well the weaker eye may not develop good vision.

Early annual eye examinations can diagnose amblyopia and provide correction that develops stronger vision in th  weaker eye.  The critical step is catching amblyopia early enough to correct it.
