====Lazy Eye: Amblyopia, or lazy eye, results from some prior condition which gives supremacy to one eye over the other. The brain receives two nonidentical signals rather than the normal identical signals. Since the conflict between the signals is unpleasant for the brain, it ignores one of them, and that eye becomes a lazy eye. Both eyes work, but the brain does not register the visual input from the non-tracking eye. This condition usually occurs during childhood; most cases can be cured using eyeglasses with a frosted or covered lens over the good eye or with surgery or vision exercises. The causes of lazy eye range from cataracts to a hairstyle that constantly covers one eye. ====
