Difference between Amblyopia and Strabismus

Amblyopia vs. Strabismus

Amblyopia, also called lazy eye, is a disorder of sight due to the eye and brain not working well together. Strabismus, also known as crossed eyes, is a condition in which the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object.

Similarities between Amblyopia and Strabismus

Amblyopia and Strabismus have 17 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aniseikonia, Anisometropia, Brainstem, Depth perception, Diplopia, Eye, Eye examination, Eyepatch, Far-sightedness, Glasses, Ophthalmology, Pupil, Refractive error, Retinal birefringence scanning, Suppression (eye), Visual cortex, Visual impairment.

Aniseikonia

Aniseikonia is an ocular condition where there is a significant difference in the perceived size of images.

Anisometropia

Anisometropia is the condition in which the two eyes have unequal refractive power.

Brainstem

The brainstem (or brain stem) is the posterior part of the brain, adjoining and structurally continuous with the spinal cord.

Depth perception

Depth perception is the visual ability to perceive the world in three dimensions (3D) and the distance of an object.

Diplopia

Diplopia, commonly known as double vision, is the simultaneous perception of two images of a single object that may be displaced horizontally, vertically, diagonally (i.e., both vertically and horizontally), or rotationally in relation to each other.

Eye

Eyes are organs of the visual system.

Eye examination

An eye examination is a series of tests performed by an ophthalmologist (medical doctor), optometrist, or orthoptist assessing vision and ability to focus on and discern objects, as well as other tests and examinations pertaining to the eyes.

Eyepatch

An eyepatch is a small patch that is worn in front of one eye.

Far-sightedness

Far-sightedness, also known as hyperopia, is a condition of the eye in which light is focused behind, instead of on, the retina.

Glasses

Glasses, also known as eyeglasses or spectacles, are devices consisting of glass or hard plastic lenses mounted in a frame that holds them in front of a person's eyes, typically using a bridge over the nose and arms which rest over the ears.

Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery (both methods are used) that deals with the anatomy, physiology and diseases of the eyeball and orbit.

Pupil

The pupil is a hole located in the center of the iris of the eye that allows light to strike the retina.

Refractive error

Refractive error, also known as refraction error, is a problem with focusing light accurately onto the retina due to the shape of the eye.

Retinal birefringence scanning

Retinal birefringence scanning (RBS) is a method for detection the central fixation of the eye.

Suppression (eye)

Suppression of an eye is a subconscious adaptation by a person's brain to eliminate the symptoms of disorders of binocular vision such as strabismus, convergence insufficiency and aniseikonia.

Visual cortex

The visual cortex of the brain is a part of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information.

Visual impairment

Visual impairment, also known as vision impairment or vision loss, is a decreased ability to see to a degree that causes problems not fixable by usual means, such as glasses.
