lazy eye
Misaligned vision condition
Lazy eye is amblyopia—a condition where one eye has weaker vision than the other, typically developing in childhood when the brain favors one eye.
The weaker eye may drift or wander, appearing "lazy." Treatment often involves patching the stronger eye to force the weaker one to work harder.
The doctor recommended an eye patch for her lazy eye.
