Amblyopia Therapy / Lazy Eye Treatment
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) is a developmental disorder where one eye has reduced vision because the brain and eye are not working together properly. It usually begins in early childhood.
Causes
- Strabismus: The most common cause; when the eyes are misaligned, the brain may ignore input from the weaker eye.
- Refractive Errors: Significant differences in vision between the two eyes can lead to amblyopia.
- Cataract: Clouding of the lens in one eye during early childhood can result in amblyopia.
- Ptosis (Droopy Eyelid): If the eyelid obstructs vision, it can prevent normal visual development in that eye.
Symptoms
- Poor Depth Perception: Difficulty judging how far away objects are.
- Favoring One Eye: A child may frequently use one eye over the other.
- Squinting or Closing One Eye: Particularly when trying to focus on an object.
- Head Tilt: The child may tilt their head to see better, compensating for poor vision in one eye.
Treatment Options
- Glasses: Correcting refractive errors to improve the weaker eye’s focus.
- Patching: Covering the stronger eye to force the brain to use the weaker eye.
- Atropine Drops: Blurs the vision in the stronger eye, encouraging use of the weaker eye.
- Vision Therapy: Exercises designed to improve the visual skills of the weaker eye.

Patient Satisfaction Is Very Important To Us
I had my cataract surgery and lens implantation with Eye Consultants Clinic. What a beautiful experience! All the staff were very kind, helpful, and competent. Special thanks to the clinic manager for being so accommodating and caring in all of my inquiries. Thank you, Dr. Mohamed Awadalla for your dedication and for being best at what you do. Overall, I highly recommend Eye Consultants, they made sure that I get the best treatment possible.
I was a patient of Dr Ahmed El Khashab’s between 2018 and 2021, and had a retinal detachment surgery, a silicone oil removal surgery and a cataract surgery, as well as glaucoma surgery in another clinic but followed up with him. With no doubt in my mind, he is by far the best doctor I’ve ever come across. He is very patient, very informative and an absolute gem of a doctor. - Menna Aly
I had a cataract surgery in both eyes last week and now my vision is perfect. Thank you to the entire team at Eye Consultants Center and most especially to Dr. Ahmed El Khashab who performed my cataract surgery. It was an amazing experience and he is the best!
We are delighted to have an opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Ahmed El Khashab and his staff for diligently caring for my mother's eye problems and her cataract surgery. They are not only most professional but always attentive to our needs and concerns. Dr. and his staff are eager to care for us as a hive of "busy bees". Thank you doctor.
I was diagnosed as having cataract in both my eyes and advised surgery.This was my very first experience and I was really nervous, but Dr Ahmed Al Khasheb assured me it will go well. I must say he is not only an expert in his field but also very kind and understanding. The surgery went well and now I have a perfect vision. I’m also thankful to the receptionists and the nurses at Eye Contact Center for being respectful and professional. I would definitely recommend this hospital and especially Dr Ahmed.
The whole team at Eye Consultants is very professional and Dr. Ahmed is special and recently performed cataract removal from both my eyes successfully. He has previously performed surgery on one eye to address a retinal detachment case. HIGHLY recommend him and his wonderful team.
