Lazy eye is one of the most common eye disorders, usually recognized in childhood. The condition occurs despite the fact that there is no damage to the nerves of the eye or directly to the eye. In lazy eye, one eye has less vision than the other, which affects the quality of vision.
We also know that lazy eye can be eliminated with various treatments. But is laser among these treatments?
Is it possible to treat lazy eye with laser?
Let us say that laser treatment is a preferred treatment to eliminate refractive errors in the eye. It is also necessary to say that laser treatment, which is preferred to eliminate refractive errors such as myopia, astigmatism, etc., is not used against lazy eye.
In LASIK and similar laser surgery treatments, vision is improved as the refractive error of the eye is eliminated and a better vision environment is created for the eye that has lazy eye. However, we cannot clearly say that it is a treatment for lazy eye and that it is a solution to lazy eye.
At this point, it will be important to consult your specialist doctor for the treatment of lazy eye and choose the most appropriate treatment method for you.
