What are Lazy Eye (Amblyopia) Symptoms at children?

It’s not always easy to tell if your child has amblyopia. Most kids aren’t diagnosed until a healthcare provider or eye care specialist gives them an eye exam.

If you do notice amblyopia symptoms in your child, you’ll probably see changes in how they interact with objects and space around themselves. A child with amblyopia may:

• Bump into objects (especially on one side of their body).
• Favor one side of their body.
• Shut one eye or squint a lot.
• Frequently tilt their head to one side.
• Have crossed eyes.
• Have a droopy eyelid.
