Did you know that lazy eye, or amblyopia, affects 5% of the population? Whilst it is more common in children, it may persist to adulthood if untreated learning to wandering eyes, poor depth perception, or even eye strain. In this episode, we will explore the causes of amblyopia as well as up-to-date treatment options and how early intervention can make a difference. 

TLDR: Lazy eye is typically treatable, especially when caught early through routine eye exams
