What is Lazy Eye in Adults?

• Lazy eye in adults is a condition that actually occurred in childhood as a result of visual deprivation to one or both of the eyes. Lazy eye (or Amblyopia) is the most common childhood disorder of vision.

• For many years it was widely believed that treatment for lazy eye in adults is not effective. It was thought that successful amblyopia treatment for adults can be reached only during the “critical age” which is up to age 9.

• Recent studies demonstrate that brain plasticity can be restored or enhanced later in life, not only during childhood, thus paving the way for effective treatment of amblyopia in adults as well as in children.

• Lazy eye may be accompanied by additional conditions such as crossed eyes, diseases, cataracts etc. which interfere with proper development of the visual pathways during childhood resulting in Amblyopia.

How much will my vision improve?

• The average improvement is 2.5 lines on the eye chart, and 100% in contrast sensitivity.
  
• This means that what you could read from 10 meters before the program you would be able to read from a distance of 17 meters after the program.
  
• However, the amount of improvement varies between individuals.

How long does it take for vision to clear after cataract surgery?

• Most patients will see improvement within 48 hours after the cataract surgery, although it can take two weeks to fully adapt to the new implants.
  
• Some patients will experience significant dificulties to adapt post surgically due to low contrast sensitivity.
  
• RevitalVision post-cataract program enhances the adaptation process.
