When one eye develops good vision while the other does not, the eye with the poorer vision is called amblyopic. Usually, only one eye is affected by amblyopia, but it is possible for both eyes to be “lazy.” This condition is called bilateral amblyopia.

The condition is common since approximately two or three out of every 100 people has amblyopia. The best time to correct amblyopia is during infancy or early childhood.
