The condition causes blurry vision in the affected eye (even with corrective lenses), poor depth perception, and reading difficulties.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lazy eye affects up to 3 percent of the population.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approximately 10 million children and adults in the U.S. have lazy eye.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>A lazy eye is generally difficult to recognize because it usually develops in only one eye, without a noticeable eye turn.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is important to be aware of the signs that may indicate a lazy eye, since in most cases, the condition is not recognized easily\u2014 though it can significantly affect a child\u2019s quality of life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\"><strong>Contact an eye doctor near you<\/strong><\/a> that has experience in diagnosing and treating lazy eye.<\/p>\n<h2><b>The following 7 signs may indicate a \u201chidden\u201d lazy eye\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>1. Frequently squints, rubs, or closes one eye<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i>Does your child squint his eyes, or close one eye when outdoors on a bright, sunny day? Does he rub his eye or cover it with his hand?\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p>These may be signs that one eye is weaker than the other, and your child may be trying to find ways to see more clearly.<\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Turns head to one side\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i>Does your child watch TV with his head turned to one side?\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Since lazy eye typically affects one eye, a child with a lazy eye may turn his head to utilize his dominant eye to see better. You may also notice that your child turns his head while playing sports or trying to catch a ball, or even while watching live sports games.<\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Reading difficulties<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i>Does your child read below grade level or refuse to read altogether?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>A lazy eye can make reading quite difficult\u2014 causing loss of place, skipping words, re-reading words, misreading or substituting words, and adding words into sentences.<\/p>\n<p>A child with a lazy eye must exert extra focusing effort to keep the words clear. This additional effort can cause fatigue and reduced concentration while reading. A lazy eye can turn reading into a stressful task, instead of an engaging activity\u2014 especially as the words get smaller with higher grade level books.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\"><strong>Schedule an exam<\/strong><\/a> with an eye doctor near you to diagnose and treat your child&#8217;s lazy eye.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/vision-therapy-for-lazy-eye\/7-signs-your-child-might-have-a-lazy-eye\/does-amblyopia-lazy-eye-affect-eye-hand-coordination\/\">Does Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) Affect Eye-Hand Coordination?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t<div class=\"practice-search-widget\">\n\t\t<h3>Find a Vision Therapy Eye Doctor Near You<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t<form class=\"practice-search-form practice-search-form-widget\" action=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/results\/\" method=\"get\">\n\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"distance\" value=\"100\" class=\"practice-search-distance\">\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"page\" class=\"practice-search-page\">\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"address_latitude\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"address_longitude\">\n\n\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"address\" class=\"practice-search-address\" placeholder=\"City, Surburb or Address\" value=\"\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"distance\" value=\"100\" class=\"practice-search-distance\">\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<button type=\"submit\" class=\"practice-search-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"19\" height=\"19\" viewBox=\"0 0 19 19\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M10.6796 0.130005C9.15708 0.130059 7.66615 0.5646 6.38198 1.38258C5.09781 2.20057 4.07373 3.36803 3.43004 4.74783C2.78634 6.12763 2.54976 7.66246 2.74808 9.17205C2.9464 10.6816 3.57139 12.1033 4.54964 13.27L0.729639 17.08C0.6364 17.1732 0.562439 17.2839 0.511979 17.4058C0.461519 17.5276 0.435547 17.6581 0.435547 17.79C0.435547 17.9219 0.461519 18.0524 0.511979 18.1743C0.562439 18.2961 0.6364 18.4068 0.729639 18.5C0.917942 18.6883 1.17334 18.7941 1.43964 18.7941C1.5715 18.7941 1.70207 18.7681 1.82389 18.7177C1.94571 18.6672 2.0564 18.5932 2.14964 18.5L5.99964 14.62C7.35406 15.6038 8.98566 16.1324 10.6596 16.13C12.7814 16.13 14.8162 15.2871 16.3165 13.7869C17.8168 12.2866 18.6596 10.2517 18.6596 8.13C18.6596 6.00827 17.8168 3.97344 16.3165 2.47315C14.8162 0.97286 12.7814 0.130005 10.6596 0.130005H10.6796ZM10.6796 14.13C9.49295 14.13 8.33291 13.7781 7.34622 13.1188C6.35952 12.4595 5.59049 11.5225 5.13636 10.4261C4.68224 9.32975 4.56342 8.12335 4.79493 6.95946C5.02644 5.79558 5.59788 4.72648 6.437 3.88736C7.27611 3.04825 8.34521 2.4768 9.5091 2.24529C10.673 2.01378 11.8794 2.1326 12.9757 2.58673C14.0721 3.04085 15.0092 3.80989 15.6685 4.79658C16.3277 5.78328 16.6796 6.94332 16.6796 8.13C16.6796 9.7213 16.0475 11.2474 14.9223 12.3726C13.7971 13.4979 12.2709 14.13 10.6796 14.13Z\" fill=\"#fff\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"practice-search-use-my-location\">\n\t\t\tSearch near me\n\t\t<\/button>\n\n\n\t<\/form>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<h3><b>4. Math difficulties<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i>Does your child struggle in math? Believe it or not, this may be a sign of a lazy eye.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p>When a lazy eye develops, the eyes become slightly misaligned. Though it may not be noticeable when looking at your child\u2019s eyes, blurry or double vision can occur, and affect the way math problems appear on a page.<\/p>\n<p>When a child sees a math problem stacked in rows, they may not see the numbers accurately as a result of blurry or double vision\u2014 this will affect their ability to solve math problems accurately. Additionally, if the child exerts <em>too much<\/em> focusing effort, it may distract them from understanding the task at hand, or method of solving the problem.<\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Sports performance difficulties or accident prone<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i>Does your child love to play sports, but for some reason cannot keep up with their peers? Does it seem like your child is frequently tripping, falling, or bumping into things?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>A lazy eye can affect depth perception, or the ability to judge the distance or location of an object in space. Without clear depth perception, playing most sports can be quite challenging. Both eyes need to be working together in order to judge where objects are located in relation to yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Without clear depth perception, a child with a lazy eye may also frequently trip over objects, fall down stairs, and maybe even get hit by a moving swing at the park.<\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Reduced fine motor skills<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i>Does your child have messy handwriting?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Lazy eye symptoms such as poor binocular coordination and depth perception, can cause reduced fine motor skills. Binocular coordination enables clear depth perception, and is crucial for all fine motor skills, including legible handwriting. However, with a lazy eye, binocular coordination is reduced.<\/p>\n<p>Without strong fine motor skills, the ability to stay on the line when writing can be a challenge. If your child continually writes above or below the line, their eyes may not be working in coordination.<\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Attention difficulties<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><i>Does your child\u2019s attention seem to wander during times they should be focused on a task, such as reading or drawing?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>While your child might appear to have an attention problem, in truth, a lazy eye can cause focusing difficulties during activities of prolonged visual focus. Therefore, your child\u2019s inability to maintain concentration during visually-oriented tasks could be a sign of reduced focusing skills, and possibly a lazy eye.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy-for-lazy-eye\/can-a-lazy-eye-be-fixed\/\"><b>How is lazy eye treated?\u00a0<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>If your child has a lazy eye, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/categories\/vision-therapy-for-lazy-eye\/\">vision therapy<\/a>, with or without eye patching or atropine eye drops, is the most effective way to strengthen the affected eye.<\/p>\n<p>Vision therapy consists of a series of eye exercises performed under the supervision of your eye doctor.
