Amblyopia [ LAZY EYE ] is one of the most common causes of vision loss in childhood. Conventionally, amblyopia has been considered as a unilateral visual diminution and hence, most definitions fail to describe the visual acuity in defining bilateral amblyopia.
Amblyopia is defined as a decrease of visual acuity in one eye when caused by abnormal binocular interaction or occurring in one or both eyes as a result of pattern vision deprivation during visual immaturity, for which no cause can be detected during the physical examination of the eye(s) and which in appropriate cases is reversible by therapeutic measures.
Amblyopia can be c;lassified as strabismic amblyopia, refractive amblyopia ( anisometropic amblyopia, isoametropic amblyopia, meridional amblyopia), vision deprivation amblyopia, organic amblyopia, and idiopathic and reverse amblyopia. the video explains each type in detail .
