Aproximadamente el 2% de los niños americanos tienen ambliopía y el 3-5% tienen estrabismo.
La ambliopía y el estrabismo a veces están conectados, pero no son la misma condición.
El estrabismo es el término médico para ojos cruzados, que ocurre cuando los ojos no están alineados. Uno o ambos ojos podrían estar hacia adentro, afuera, abajo o arriba, y ambos ojos no están enfocados hacia el mismo objetivo. Es común que esto ocurra cuando una persona es muy miope o tiene mal control del músculo ocular. El ojo vago podría ser un fenómeno constante o puede manifestarse cuando la persona está cansada, enferma o ha hecho mucho mirando muy de cerca, como leer. Si se deja sin tratar, el estrabismo podría empeorar.
Es importante tener en cuenta que mientras el estrabismo puede ser notable en estrabismo de gran ángulo, podría fácilmente perderse si es intermitente, alternando o un estrabismo de pequeño ángulo.
Hay distintas opciones de tratamiento, dependiendo en la causa y en la diagnosis. A veces uno o más métodos son usados para el mismo paciente:
Seguido estos métodos de tratamiento serán suficientes, pero hay casos donde la cirugía de músculo ocular será recomendable. Es aconsejable primero probar técnicas de tratamiento no-invasivo antes de decidir si operar.
Ojo perezoso, conocido médicamente como ambliopía, es la causa principal de pérdida de visión de un ojo en niños. La ambliopía es una condición que ocurre cuando los ojos no están trabajando juntos correctamente como equipo junto con el cerebro. Cada ojo recibe su propia imagen que no está coordinado con el otro. Así que para hacer frente, el cerebro apaga la comunicación con un ojo, apodado el “ojo perezoso” al suprimir. La visión clara es lograda por el otro ojo más fuerte, ya que el ojo perezoso no puede alcanzar la visión 20/20, aún con corrección óptica.
Algunos niños son más propensos a desarrollar un ojo perezoso. Los factores de riesgo incluyen:
Estudios científicos han comprobado que solo el parchar el ojo ya no es un método recomendable para tratar un ojo perezoso.
Los siguientes métodos de tratamiento son generalmente ofrecidos, a veces solo un método será suficiente, mientras que otros casos requieren una combinación de distintos métodos de tratamiento:
La ambliopía y el estrabismo a veces están conectados, pero no son la misma condición.
I haven't actually used the optometrist side, so my review is limited to the vision therapy offered. This office was recommended by my occupational therapist for the treatment of my double vision following a stroke.
Love this location. I had a brain injury accident from day one one. All the team make you feel you still important and hope in the horizon after when the medical system fell you miserably. Dr. Ikeda very professional and very understanding about your issue. Two tombs up.
My husband and I were immediately impressed with Dr Ikeda. I was hit by a car while cycling which caused broken bones and three brain injuries. The brain injuries caused double vision. Dr. Ikeda examined my eyes and got me started on vision therapy with his occupational therapist who specializes in vision therapy. She (Chris) is absolutely great. I am impressed with the array of tools used to help recover my binocular vision. I am doing things I never thought were possible (balance boards etc). Chris pushes me and keeps me motivated. I really enjoy my sessions with her. The office staff is always friendly and they have a wonderful appointment reminder tool that makes it easy to keep my calendar up to date. I am happy the rehab center at Little Co. of Mary recommended them!!
The Vision Therapy is handled in a separate office through a different door from the shared waiting room. Chris, the vision therapist, has a wide and varied assortment of tools, equipment and resources to best evaluate and treat most vision issues. After just a few visits, my double vision became easier to control, using exercises developed during the therapy process. It was time well-spent.
I have been coming here since I can remember. I love it here. The staff is so amazing and nice. They explain everything they gonna do and never make you feel rushed. Dr. Ikeda has always been my doctor and I would never want another one. He is the doctor for my whole family and is always asking how everyone is doing. I am also so crazy about picking out my frames and have to try so many and each person who helps me take the time and lets me try them all on. I would never want to go anywhere else! I definitely would recommend this office to anyone looking for a great eye doctor.
This is not for the eye exam but for the frames selection portion. I brought my prescription from Kaiser here with my VSP insurance. The reception staff was very polite and professional. Manny helped me to pick out frames and explain my coverage. Very helpful and patient not like the individual at the other place I rated here on Yelp. I was running late and he still helped me and was not bothered at all. I am so glad I came here ..........very pleased.
Very professional staff and pleasant.
