Amblyopia, commonly referred to as a lazy eye, is a correctable condition if caught early in a child's life. When people think of others with lazy eyes they often incorrectly believe that they will be able to spot amblyopia in their children fairly easily as their child develops, but this is not always the case as some instances of amblyopia are difficult to detect even for the child and can only be diagnosed by professional optometrists.
If you have experienced these symptoms, you may have astigmatism. It is most likely due to an uneven stress pattern located within the muscles of your eyes. In most cases astigmatism is due to cornea distortion due to an uneven stress pattern among the four muscles located around and in front of the eyes.
There are many things that a parent can do to help determine if the child has a lazy eye and then work at home at correcting the problem. First, a parent will need to know if their child needs a professional's opinion on the diagnosis of amblyopia and can make an educated guess if they should seek further aid by conducting a few diagnostic tests with child.
Put your thumb right in front of your eyes, within just a few inches. Do not worry if your thumbnail is blurry. Slowly move your hand up, following it with your eyes but not your head. Then move your thumb down following the same instructions. Repeat in all different directions, remembering to go slowly.
Take a break to relax your muscles and repeat the exercise, this time synchronizing your movements with your breathing. Inhale slowly as you move your thumb one direction, and exhale slowly as you bring it back to the center.
Pay attention to how your whole body will begin to relax, including the muscles in your eyes. It is important to note that you should do this exercise two different ways, in a clockwise direction and in a counter-clockwise direction. This will allow you to notice if some angles are more difficult for your eyes than others. Make note of those areas.
Before conducting any in-home exercise to help correct a child's amblyopia, a parent should consult with their eye car professional and get permission to proceed with the exercise. One of the main exercises that many optometrists suggest for correcting a lazy eye is to cover the child's properly functioning eye with an eye patch.
Follow the smooth spikes. Remember to practice the breathing exercises at the same time. Similarly to the other eye exercise, you will need to continue the exercise many times a day. Depending on how serious your astigmatism is you may be able to get rid of it completely while just doing the exercises for a few short weeks.
Such activities as drawing pictures, coloring, playing basketball, baseball, or any number of other sports can all help to correct a lazy eye through exercises the eye muscles. One should remember that the most important aid a parent can give to a child who is working to fix their amblyopia is to constantly render support and a positive attitude.
