How else can you get a lazy eye?
ANSWER
Lazy eye can also result from other eye problems, such as:
- Ptosis (drooping of the eyelid)
- A significant refractive error in one eye. If an infant has one eye that has significantly more uncorrected nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism than the fellow eye, amblyopia can develop.
