In some children, only one of the two eyes focuses properly. This is a vision problem called lazy eyes (the medical term for this is Amblyopia). It is caused when the two eyes send different images to the brain. For example, it may happen if one of the eyes is more nearsighted, farsighted, or has more astigmatism (refractive error) than the other, or if the child has a squint. The brain then primarily processes the information coming from the better eye, ignoring the other. If unnoticed or untreated, it can continue to affect in later years. It is estimated that about 4% of children and between 1-5% of the adult population is affected by this visual impairment.
Vores øjne har et sæt muskler, der hjælper med øjenbevægelser. En svaghed i enhver øjenmuskel vil føre til abnormiteter i bevægelsen, såsom at vende indad eller udad eller have ukoordinerede bevægelser. Denne tilstand kaldes "Squint" eller " Strabismus ". Hjernen har en tendens til at ignorere de uklare visuelle billeder, der kommer fra det berørte øje, som ikke er på linje. Dette øje bliver så til et "dovent øje.
When a child develops a lazy eye, parents may observe that their child faces difficulty focusing on objects, or they squint or shut one of the eyes to view the objects or surroundings clearly. Often, the child’s eyes may appear to turn inward, outward, or they may not work together in coordination.
Older children may also complain of poor perception of depth and an inability to view things clearly from a distance, such as writing on the classroom board.
When children develop such symptoms, It is important to consult a pediatric ophthalmologist as soon as possible to enable early treatment.
If a child with lazy eyes does not receive early treatment, the condition may worsen and persist in adulthood. Sometimes, a child may be undiagnosed for visual disturbances at an early age and may receive a diagnosis as they grow older, when visual disturbances intensify.
De almindelige klager over voksne med dovne øjne er:
● The child may be seen squinting or shutting one eye.
● Parents may be able to see uncoordinated eye movements in their child.
● The child may complain of inability to view the classroom board clearly.
● Blurred or double vision
● Poor depth perception
● Increased complaints of eye strain.
Øjendråber dryppes ind i det normale øje og forårsager en midlertidig sløring af synet i det normale øje. Dette får hjernen til at vende sig mod visuelle impulser, der kommer fra det svagere eller dovne øje. Effekten svarer til patching.
However, the success of these approaches depends on how regularly the child is in applying the patches/eye drops. Most children do not like this kind of patching and tend to resist it. Very often, parents do not apply the patch to avoid social stigma. Compliance with patching is very low
Patching eller straf kan også føre til synsproblemer i det normale øje. Patching har aldersbegrænsninger og hjælper ikke med at korrigere det voksne dovne øje.
Treatment for eyes using dichoptic technology is an emerging and highly effective approach for correcting Lazy eyes and improving vision. Dichoptic eye treatments work by offering simultaneous and separate visual stimuli to both eyes. In simpler terms, depending on the impairment, both eyes are presented with different stimuli simultaneously, which helps enhance the contrast difference perceived by both eyes. This can help achieve a balance between the normal eye and the lazy eye.
