Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)


Don't let Amblyopia, commonly known as "Lazy Eye," hold you or your child back! Optimal Eye Care in League City, TX, is dedicated to providing exceptional care for patients with amblyopia. Amblyopia is a condition that affects the development of vision in children and adults, leading to decreased visual acuity or even permanent vision loss if left untreated. But fear not, our experienced optometrists have the expertise and technology to diagnose and treat amblyopia with a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.


Our comprehensive approach to amblyopia care includes a thorough evaluation of your eyes and visual system, and a customized treatment plan to help you achieve optimal visual function. We offer a range of treatments such as prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses, vision therapy, eye patching, and atropine drops to help improve your vision and strengthen your eye's visual system.


Our team of professionals will work with you to develop a personalized plan that may include the following:

  • Prescription Eyeglasses or Contact Lenses: Correcting refractive errors, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, can help improve vision in the affected eye.

  • Vision Therapy: Our optometrists can design a personalized vision therapy program to improve the coordination between the two eyes and strengthen the weak eye's visual system.

  • Eye Patching: Covering the stronger eye with a patch can force the lazy eye to work harder, leading to improved vision.

  • Atropine Drops: Dilating the pupil of the stronger eye with atropine drops can blur its vision, forcing the lazy eye to work harder.

At Optimal Eye Care, we understand the challenges that amblyopia can bring, and we are dedicated to helping you or your child see the world clearly. Our caring team of professionals provides personalized support to help you maintain your independence and quality of life. So don't wait - contact us today to schedule an appointment and take the first step towards improving your vision and unlocking your full potential!
