Reconsider What’s Possible for Adult Lazy Eye
Many adults believe that once childhood passes, the chance to correct a lazy eye—also known as amblyopia—is gone for good. At My Optometrist, serving Calgary and Three Hills, we want to change that perception. Amblyopia isn’t just a childhood concern, and with today’s advancements in optometric care, adult treatment is not only possible, but often effective. Whether you’ve struggled with blurred or reduced vision in one eye for years or were told in the past that nothing could be done, there are now new solutions available.
If you’re in Calgary or the surrounding area and wondering if it's too late for your eyes, My Optometrist Calgary may change your mind—and your vision.
Adult Amblyopia Treatment Calgary: What You Should Know
Amblyopia occurs when the brain favours one eye over the other, leading to reduced visual development in the weaker eye. Traditionally, treatment was thought to be most effective in childhood, but new research shows that adults still have the ability to retrain their visual system. This is excellent news for anyone who was told there were no solutions beyond childhood.
Today, My Optometrist uses a personalized approach to explore a range of treatment options for adult patients. Whether you live in Calgary or Three Hills, our experienced team can assess your vision and design a care plan that works for you.
Can Lazy Eye Be Fixed in Adults Calgary? Yes, With the Right Tools
While it’s true that the brain's adaptability (neuroplasticity) is strongest in childhood, adults retain some of that flexibility throughout life. That means visual function in a weaker eye can still improve with the right stimulation and guidance.
Treatment might include prescription glasses, contact lenses, patching therapy, eye drops, or vision therapy exercises tailored to strengthen coordination between the eyes. At My Optometrist Calgary, we may also recommend Neurolens® for adults who experience eye strain or misalignment that contributes to amblyopia symptoms.
Vision Therapy and Eye Training Exercises Calgary
One of the most effective treatments for lazy eye in adults is vision therapy—a structured program of eye exercises that help retrain the visual system. These programs are designed to improve eye tracking, coordination, focusing, and communication between the brain and eyes.
Whether you’re from NE Calgary or Three Hills, our team of optometrists provides customized therapy plans to help adults develop stronger visual skills in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
Why Early Diagnosis Still Matters—Even in Adulthood
Although treatment is still possible later in life, an early diagnosis can reduce frustration and preserve more functional vision. Many adults don’t realize they have amblyopia until a comprehensive eye exam uncovers it. That’s why it’s so important to have regular eye checkups, especially if you experience blurry vision, eye fatigue, or poor depth perception.
At My Optometrist, we provide thorough eye exams in Calgary (Sunridge and Sundance) and Three Hills that screen for conditions like amblyopia and assess how they may be impacting your day-to-day life.
