DEFINITION

Colloquial term for amblyopia.

由来
  • 英语“lazy eye”的意译。“Lazy eye”是其学名“amblyopia”（即弱视） 的俗称。
  • 当两只眼睛的视力相差很大，即使戴了眼镜仍无法矫正，视力较差的那只眼睛就称为“懒惰眼”。
  • “懒惰眼”是因为患者在儿童时期尚未发展出正常的视力而造成，一般在七至八岁就形成。
  • 矫正“懒惰眼”的常用方法是将视力正常的那只眼蒙上，每天数小时，强制性地使用“懒惰眼”，使它正常发展视力。

ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “懒惰眼” is a paraphrase of the English term“lazy eye”.
  • When there is a big difference in vision between a person’s two eyes, which cannot be corrected even with spectacles, the eye with poorer vision is known as a “懒惰眼”.

  • A common treatment is to cover the normal eye for several hours a day in order to stimulate the lazy eye and improve its vision.
