Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Amblyopia is a monocular (or occasionally binocular) reduction of vision due to impaired visual development by the brain. It is sometimes referred to as lazy eye, although this lay term may also be applied to describe strabismus (ie, a wandering eye; see Chapter 576). In addition to subnormal visual acuity, sophisticated testing will also reveal possible deficiency of motion sensitivity, contrast sensitivity, color sensitivity, visual field, and stereoacuity. The functional and anatomic changes in the brain result from disruption of normal visual experience during development. The severity and reversibility of amblyopia relate closely to the cause of the visual disturbance and the child’s age.
