What is Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)?
Amblyopia is the most common cause of vision impairment in children, affecting 2-3% of the population. It develops when the brain favors one eye over the other during the critical period of visual development (birth to about age 7-8).
Early detection is critical because treatment is most effective before age 7. After this age, the visual system becomes less plastic and improvement becomes more difficult. This is why pediatric eye screening is essential for all children in Gurugram's schools and communities.
🏙️ Context in Gurugram
Gurugram's pediatric eye specialists emphasize early screening, ideally before age 4. Several schools now partner with eye hospitals for vision screening programs. The city offers comprehensive amblyopia management including vision therapy centers.
