Amblyopia

Medical term for an eye with poor vision despite glasses. That eye's messages to the brain are weak, and the other eye is preferred by the brain. If amblyopia is due to strabismus, the condition may be corrected by wearing a patch over the stronger eye, by strengthening the weaker one. If the condition is not corrected, the weak eye can become blind.
