A life with lazy eye can cause more than just aesthetic complications. The turned in eye can have a severe effect on vision. Some of the most common symptoms include: head tilting, unusual results of vision screen tests, subpar depth perception, shutting or squinting an eye, and an eye that turns outward or inward. In some instances, you won’t know you have it until after a thorough eye exam. You might be wondering at this point, what even causes lazy eye? In a nutshell, changed nerve pathways. If you (or someone) else experienced unusual visual experiences as children (or a generally earlier stage in life), this can cause that change. At this point the weaker eye might receive fewer visual signals. Over time, your eyes won’t be able to work well together. This results in the eyes (eventually) not being able to work well together, so the brain essentially suppresses the weaker eye’s input. Other causes include: muscle imbalance (causing the eyes to cross in or out, preventing from coordinated tracking), deprivation (a problem affecting one eye), and the difference in sharpness of vision between eyes.
