Is Amblyopia Hereditary

Answer 1

Depends.... lazy eye is a hard thing to deal with because if the person sees good up close with focus but if it wanders from looking far away and u have surgery, the surgery may make the eyes turn in because the focus is not bad up close... and also surgery is not 100% effective, you may have to have it over and over and it may not ever work as a guarantee. Lazy eye is something you just have to hit or miss on if its not too bad.

Answer 2

Amblyopia itself is not a hereditary condition as it refers to the development of the eye and is not in itself a physical condition.

Traditionally, Patching or penalizing the good eye is Amblyopia treatment. In this, the good eye is covered with a patch, and the child or the person has to work with the weak eye.

The ophthalmologist also recommends vision therapy exercises, and atropine eye drops to reverse Amblyopia.

Bynocs presents a completely new and modern form of Amblyopia treatment through AmblyGo software. This software is based on the dichoptic principle to improve binocular vision. Contrast-adjusted images are shown to both eyes in the form of games. The dominant eye sees lesser contrast images, and the non-dominant receives intense contrast images. The therapy rewires the brain’s plasticity and stimulates new neural connections to see and respond according to contrast-adjusted images.

By playing those games, for twenty minutes per session, about 90% of people (most of them are kids) have witnessed improvement in their vision.
