Comprehensive Treatment and Quality Eyeglasses for Lazy Eye in Lorton VA

If you have trouble seeing properly, you may have amblyopia or Lazy Eye. It’s a condition that often shows up during childhood. People who have it usually have trouble seeing objects with both eyes together. They may compensate for the condition by squinting or closing one eye to focus on objects that are up close or far away. Although these actions may make it easier to see, one should not have to resort to them in order to see clearly.

Lazy Eye SurgeryAt Clearfinity Eyecare Optometrist, we understand that you may not be aware of existing vision problems, but that doesn’t stop us from working hard to ensure you enjoy optimal vision health. We offer comprehensive eye exams and treatments that will help you to maintain good eyesight for life.

Don’t Let Lazy Eye Affect Your Vision

It is never a good idea to try to self-diagnose for lazy eye. In fact, many people are asymptomatic. Others may exhibit the following symptoms:

  • Crossed eyes
  • Varying degrees of nearsightedness and farsightedness between both eyes
  • Tendency to favor one eye for sight than the other

Lazy eye is a treatable condition. Once diagnosed, your eye doctor may prescribe eyeglasses, eye patching or another form of eye therapy. The goal is to get both eyes working together to keep the condition from progressing and reoccurring.

An Early Diagnosis Offer the Best Chance for a Successful Outcome

Although it usually develops before the age of six, it can be detected much earlier. Early detection and treatment can improve your chances for better vision. The later the condition is diagnosed, the longer and less effective treatment will be. To aid in the early detection of lazy eye in children, our optometrist encourages all parents to have their children’s eyes examined several times after they turn six months and after they reach school age.
