Can eye exercises improve lazy eye?
Eye exercises, also known as vision therapy or orthoptics, can be a helpful treatment for amblyopia (lazy eye). These exercises can:
1. *Improve eye alignment*: Strengthen eye muscles and enhance coordination.
2. *Enhance brain-eye connection*: Improve communication between the eyes and brain.
3. *Increase visual skills*: Develop skills like depth perception, tracking, and focusing.
Vision therapy is often used in combination with other treatments, such as patching or glasses.
A trained optometrist or orthoptist can create a personalized exercise program to help improve vision and reduce symptoms. Consistency and patience are key!
