People who had lazy eye in childhood may be at higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, and other serious health conditions later in life, a study suggests. An analysis of data from more than 126,000 UK adults found that those diagnosed with amblyopia as a child were also more likely to have high blood pressure and obesity when they are older. While the study does not establish a direct cause-effect relationship between lazy eye and these health issues, researchers suggest that children with amblyopia may benefit from extra encouragement to adopt healthy lifestyles. Amblyopia, affecting up to four in 100 children, is a condition where vision in one eye does not properly develop, potentially leading to long-term consequences in adulthood. Early screening and treatment are crucial, emphasizing the importance of regular eye tests for children to safeguard their eye health and overall well-being.
