Does lazy eye syndrome (amblyopia) worsen with age?

Lazy eye syndrome, also known as amblyopia, is typically a condition that develops in childhood when one eye doesn't develop properly, leading to reduced vision in that eye. Identifying and treating it before age 7 brings the best chances of fully correcting the condition. If left untreated during childhood, amblyopia can persist into adulthood. However, it doesn't usually worsen with age. In some cases, adults with untreated amblyopia may notice increased difficulties with depth perception or visual tasks that require both eyes to work together. While treatment options may be limited in adulthood compared to childhood, it's still essential to consult an eye specialist. They can evaluate your situation and discuss potential interventions to optimise your vision and overall eye health. Early intervention in childhood remains the most effective approach, but it's never too late to seek expert guidance on managing amblyopia.
