Aproximadamente el 2% de los niños americanos tienen ambliopía y el 3-5% tienen estrabismo.
La ambliopía y el estrabismo a veces están conectados, pero no son la misma condición.
El estrabismo es el término médico para ojos cruzados, que ocurre cuando los ojos no están alineados. Uno o ambos ojos podrían estar hacia adentro, afuera, abajo o arriba, y ambos ojos no están enfocados hacia el mismo objetivo. Es común que esto ocurra cuando una persona es muy miope o tiene mal control del músculo ocular. El ojo vago podría ser un fenómeno constante o puede manifestarse cuando la persona está cansada, enferma o ha hecho mucho mirando muy de cerca, como leer. Si se deja sin tratar, el estrabismo podría empeorar.
Es importante tener en cuenta que mientras el estrabismo puede ser notable en estrabismo de gran ángulo, podría fácilmente perderse si es intermitente, alternando o un estrabismo de pequeño ángulo.
Hay distintas opciones de tratamiento, dependiendo en la causa y en la diagnosis. A veces uno o más métodos son usados para el mismo paciente:
Seguido estos métodos de tratamiento serán suficientes, pero hay casos donde la cirugía de músculo ocular será recomendable. Es aconsejable primero probar técnicas de tratamiento no-invasivo antes de decidir si operar.
Ojo perezoso, conocido médicamente como ambliopía, es la causa principal de pérdida de visión de un ojo en niños. La ambliopía es una condición que ocurre cuando los ojos no están trabajando juntos correctamente como equipo junto con el cerebro. Cada ojo recibe su propia imagen que no está coordinado con el otro. Así que para hacer frente, el cerebro apaga la comunicación con un ojo, apodado el “ojo perezoso” al suprimir. La visión clara es lograda por el otro ojo más fuerte, ya que el ojo perezoso no puede alcanzar la visión 20/20, aún con corrección óptica.
Algunos niños son más propensos a desarrollar un ojo perezoso. Los factores de riesgo incluyen:
Estudios científicos han comprobado que solo el parchar el ojo ya no es un método recomendable para tratar un ojo perezoso.
Los siguientes métodos de tratamiento son generalmente ofrecidos, a veces solo un método será suficiente, mientras que otros casos requieren una combinación de distintos métodos de tratamiento:
La ambliopía y el estrabismo a veces están conectados, pero no son la misma condición.
Vision therapy is well worth the response, time and effort. Our Son had a hard time focusing and writing neatly. After vision therapy Seth could complete a task in half the time if previously took. His abilities to focus improved greatly and so did his handwriting.
Also, he was better at listening. As a parent, we wanted learning to be fun for our Son, and vision therapy made this possible.

Vision Therapy has given or son the tools he needs to be able to scan and read the written word more effectively and efficiently.
He love working with John and these working sessions give him the motivation to gladly work on his homework assignments.
It amazed us to see the difference in the tracking of his eyes and along a line of it's from the beginning to the end of the treatment.
Dr. McBryar , Kristen and John are all marvelous and we would recommend them to anyone I only wish that we would have found them sooner!
Prior to coming to the institute for vision development my son complained of daily headaches. Therapy has eliminated his headaches completely. I love knowing my son is able to learn pain-free for the rest of his life because of the work that has been done over just a few weeks in this office. He he absolutely loved coming that didn't even feel like going to a doctor or therapy. We are grateful for the relief he was able to find by coming here.
Thank you!

Spelling abilities have been hugely improved
Seems much more confident
Thank You!!!
When we first came to the practice, my son did not have huge issues, but lots of small ones- trouble with reading, sports (hitting the baseball consistently), coordination, etc- that were not easily detectable,but when put together presented issues. The staff here were all very professional and loving towards him. While I was concerned in the reading, my son was concerned with the athletic side. Seeing improvement night off the bat gave him confidence that i have nor seen in him and made him want to not only Come to therapy, but also made him want to work hard. He has surpassed his grade level and above in reading and hit his first home run this year! Thank you!!!
