Description

This information fact sheet describes two vision conditions called amblyopia and strabismus. Amblyopia is the failure of one eye, although apparently healthy, to develop normal vision whereas strabismus is a term used to describe eyes that are not straight and parallel. The fact sheet offers background information on these conditions and discusses treatment options.
