Vitamin A deficiency
Vitamin A [6] is a nutrient that is important for many bodily functions, including proper vision. It is important that this nutrient is not lacking in one’s diet especially as a child. This is because, just as much as the deficiency can be a cause of lazy eye, not lacking it is also a preventive measure that one should adopt.
Other factors and conditions that can contribute to causing lazy eyes are.
- Genetics or a family history of amblyopia
- Your eyes have a different level of vision
- Damage to one of your eyes from trauma
- A side effect from eye surgery
- Dropping off one of your eyelids
- Cataract [7]
