mblyopia, known better as a condition referred to as ‘lazy eye’, is the result of abnormal development of the eye during infancy and early childhood.  The abnormal development is the fault of improper stimulation in the nerve pathways between the brain and the eye.  As a result, the brain favors one eye over the other, and the weaker or “lazy” eye will wander.  Untreated, the brain might start to ignore signals from the lazy eye all together.
