The most common cause of permanent one-eye vision impairment among children and young and middle-aged adults. An estimated 2%–3% of the population suffer from amblyopia. Over time, the brain relies more and more on the other, stronger eye, while vision in the weaker eye gets worse. It’s called “lazy eye” because the stronger eye works better.

There we were, with heaps of theoretical what-not piled up on our heads waiting to take the spot light in a territory beyond the limits of our knowledge. It didn’t take us long to figure out that we were miles away from even the thoug
