Are you struggling with “lazy eye” as an adult? At Park Avenue LASEK, we offer advanced treatment options for amblyopia that go beyond traditional methods. Unlike other clinics that may have given up on treating adult amblyopia, we provide cutting-edge solutions that can help you achieve significant vision improvement. If you are an adult struggling with amblyopia, it’s never too late to take the first step towards better vision.
Amblyopia, commonly known as “lazy eye”, is a visual disorder where one eye fails to achieve normal visual acuity, even with prescription glasses or contact lenses. This condition can persist into adulthood if left untreated, leading to permanent vision impairment. At Park Avenue LASEK, we specialize in treating amblyopia—even in adults who have been told their condition is untreatable.
Amblyopia can persist into adulthood if left untreated. Common symptoms of amblyopia include:
Squinting or Closing One Eye: A frequent sign, often used to compensate for weaker vision in one eye.
Poor Vision in One Eye: Vision is noticeably worse in one eye, even with corrective lenses.
Headaches and Eye Strain: Continuous efforts to see clearly can lead to headaches and eye fatigue.
Fact Eye Misalignment: The weaker eye may appear to drift inward or outward, indicating amblyopia.
If you notice these symptoms, schedule a comprehensive eye exam as soon as possible.
There are two primary causes of amblyopia:
Strabismus (Misaligned Eyes): When the eyes are not properly aligned, the brain receives conflicting images. To avoid double vision, the brain eventually ignores input from one eye, leading to amblyopia.
Refractive Errors: Significant differences in prescription between the two eyes can lead the brain to rely more on the clearer eye, causing the other eye to weaken over time.
At Park Avenue LASEK, we offer HD LASEK—a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment that provides significant benefits over traditional methods like patching, eye excersises, etc.:
Non-Invasive, No Cutting: Unlike LASIK, LASEK is a non-cutting procedure, making it a safer and more comfortable option for adult patients.
Precise Vision Correction: The excimer laser used in LASEK precisely corrects refractive errors, allowing the brain to align and use both eyes equally.
Suitable for Adults: LASEK is an excellent option for adults, even those who have been told they are not candidates for LASIK.
We have successfully treated numerous patients with amblyopia, including those who were previously told their condition was untreatable. One of our most notable success stories involves a Navy SEAL who experienced severe vision issues after PRK performed by another surgeon. Thanks to HD LASEK at Park Avenue LASEK, he experienced significant improvements in his vision without any pain—demonstrating the efficacy of our approach.
If you are experiencing symptoms of amblyopia, don’t wait. Adults can benefit from treatment even if amblyopia has persisted for many years. At Park Avenue LASEK, we are dedicated to helping our patients achieve clearer, sharper vision.
