What is Amblyopia?

Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, is the eye condition noted by reduced vision not correctable by glasses or contact lenses and is not due to any eye disease. The brain, for some reason, does not fully acknowledge the images seen by the amblyopic eye. This almost always affects only one eye but may manifest with reduction of vision in both eyes. It is estimated that three percent of children under six have some form of amblyopia.  (im in that 3%..huuu..how unlucky..)

the pic above is what a person with normal eyes would see, but its not the same when u have an Amblyopic eye..

diagnosis for Ambylopia

Since amblyopia usually occurs in one eye only, many parents and children may be unaware of the condition. Far too many parents fail to take their infants and toddlers in for an early comprehensive vision examination and many children go undiagnosed until they have their eyes examined at the eye doctor's office at a later age. 

(huu..termasuk sy la ni..inilah padahnye bila ade sedara mara yg keje nurse kat spital ke...evrytime kna wat medical check up, never check properly, she straight away bring the form to the doctor, saying her niece is perfectly healthy n the doctor straight away signed the form..dulu i was happy with dat, yela..process yg org len tggu berjam2 nk wat medical check up, cik sara 5 minit jek dh leyh balik..but now, menyesal pn ade, if i check my eyes properly in early age, i wud have detected the lazy eyes n its more easier to treat..)

Treatment of Amblyopia

Early treatment is usually simple, employing glasses, drops, Vision Therapy, and/or eye patching.(gmbar kat atas ni is eye patching) While detection and correction before the age of two is considered to offer the best outcomes, recent scientific research has disproven the long held belief that children over seven years old can not be successfully treated. but i also read that its almost impossible to cure an adult with Amblyopia..

nevertheless..until now i've been surviving Amblyopia for almost 21 years..Alhamdulillah okkay2 jek..my Amblyopic eye is the left one, n my right eye is perfectly normal..i only know this when i'd finally decided to wear a spectacle..sblum ni ngatkn mata kiri tak clear sbb rabun..mane la nk taw ape ke jadahnye Amblyopia tu kn.. then masa nk tentukn bape power mata kiri tu tokleh..segala jenis kanta cina tu dh try kat mata kiri, still tak clear..that's when he said 'aiyaa amoi..lu ade mata malas ni..'

terpromote nazwan skali..hehe..sorry, dats d only picture bertudung cik sara berspeckie..dye ni mmber 'berbincang' msa zmn LDV foundation years..hehe..tpi skang da kelas len dh lma tak wat aktiviti 'berbincang' itu..hee..bju matching n msa ni hri jumaat, bersongkok sakanla incik nazwan..mcm ustaz n ustazah tak? haha..

my spec is suppose to help my right eyes to see clearer (tp 50 je pn power..actually tade beza pakai ke tak..skrang mmg tak pakai dh pn..berhabuk spec tu) but it cannot do anything to the left one..i'd try to do dat patching thing (tutup mata yg elok n guna Amblyopic eye..kira cam tanak bgi dye malas dhla..)..it turns out to be a veeery tiring activity..berpeluh sakan haa..n less motivated when i know that it's almost impossible for an adult to cure Amblyopia..huu..Despite of dat fact, so far, i dun have any problem reading, driving, studying or anything..im just praying hard that even if it cant be cure permenantly, please let my right eyes to be good as it is now..huhu..

moral of the story, never neglected the importance of medical check up..n for future references, check mata anak2 anda or adik2 anda or ur nephews and nieces before they're 7 years old, okkayh..there's also a possibility that Amblyopia is hereditory yet, its nothing to worry about if it's detected in the early age..its curable..

♫ today's not the same as everyday..it's far from ordinary..the pain i endure, u're my cure..~~I did it for you, David Cook..
