It is often described as a ‘lazy eye’. This is because of underlying pathological processes causing the brain to ‘switch off’ visual signals to the brain in the weaker eye. Over time, the brain ignores the blurry images produced from the ‘bad’ eye and the visual pathway on that side becomes weaker.
