Effective Lazy Eye Natural Treatment Oceanside, CA
A lazy eye, in medical terms called amblyopia, is a type of poor vision happening in just one eye. The eye actually is not lazy; it simply does not develop the proper nerve connection with the brain. If the eye is not stimulated properly, the nerve cells responsible for vision will not mature normally. It is usually discovered in early childhood.
Traditional Chinese Medicine can successfully treat lazy eyes. It stimulates the blood flow in the weak eye and improves eye nourishment. Here at Makari Wellness, we offer an individual approach to your eye condition.

What is a Lazy Eye?
Lazy eye happens when vision in one eye does not develop properly during childhood. The brain and the lazy eye do not work well together, so the brain does not recognize the sight from the affected eye. The brain then relies on the other, stronger eye, and the weaker eye’s vision worsens over time. If left untreated, amblyopia can cause permanent vision problems.
What Causes Lazy Eye?
Lazy eye causes are not always clear. They may include:
- Refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
- Strabismus, when your eyes are not properly aligned due to eye muscle imbalance.
- Cataracts, a cloudiness of the lens that prevents the proper development of the vision on that eye.
- A droopy eyelid that blocks your vision.
It is essential to start amblyopia treatment as soon as possible. The conventional treatment usually includes wearing a patch over the strong eye to force the brain to use the weaker one. Eye drops called atropine are also used – they blur the strong eye.
As far as lazy eye natural cure is concerned, it responds well to acupuncture. We can use acupuncture to treat amblyopia – it stimulates retinal nerve growth factors, resulting in metabolic changes in the central nervous system. All this leads to improving nerve conduction and bioelectricity in the brain’s optical center.
Natural remedies for a lazy eye may include Chinese herbs, which are custom-made mixtures for every patient individually. The certified Chinese herbalist will balance the body’s vital energy and create an inhospitable environment for the illness.
What are the Most Efficient Lazy Eye Exercises?
Some of the most effective exercises are designed to support the primary treatment. When a child reaches a certain age, it is possible to strengthen the weak eye with these exercises. Some of them require wearing the patch; others do not:
- Coloring pages, where the child needs to stay within the lines.
- Putting together a jigsaw puzzle or reading a book while wearing an eye patch.
- Pencil Pushups Treatment, where you hold the pencil in front of the child at arm’s length, letting them focus on the pencil tip. Then you slowly move the pencil towards the nose, and once it becomes blurry, you move it away from the nose.
- Brock String Exercise, where the child needs to focus on the string of beads placed at equal distance from one another – it encourages both your eyes to work together.
