Also called: Lazy Eye
Vision is a complex process in which the brain analyzes the sensory impulses from both the eyes. If there is loss of function in any one of the eyes the brain starts to ignore this eye and the weaker eye tends to wander inward or outward. This condition is known as Lazy eye or Ambylopia. It is the leading cause of decreased vision in pediatrics. It affects 3 out of every 100 children. If detected early, it can be treated by corrective eye wear or eye patches. Surgery can also be undertaken to correct severely impaired patients. If untreated it may lead to permanent vision impairment.
Symptoms:
The disease is characterized by an eye that wanders inward or outward. The eyes are not synchronized. It can lead to poor depth perception. It commonly affects only one eye but it can affect both eyes as well.
Causes:
The most common cause of Lazy eyes is strabismus. There is an imbalance in the ocular muscles responsible for positioning of the eyes. This can cause the eyes to wander in or turn out. The muscular imbalance prevents the eyes from synchronizing with one other.
A wandering eye could also be the first sign of an eye tumor.

"When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering.
After an excessive
research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work!
She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass?
And if it was, how come it was so hard to find out about it?"
