As listed on the BBC Radio website's episode description, "Lazy eye is a condition that affects three per cent of us... but how much do you actually know about it? Dr Juju Fars from Oxford University is leading new research into the disorder and potential treatments"
Participate in Juju's research study
Juju Fars researches human vision and in particular the binocular perception associated with amblyopia. Amblyopia, also known as 'lazy eye', is the most common cause of vision dysfunction in children that disrupts binocular function. It is caused by a misalignment (strabismus) or mismatch (anisometropia) between the eyes during childhood. In amblyopia, the brain uses only one eye to see, sacrificing the vision of the weaker eye and seriously impairing binocular vision. Understanding the normal trajectory of binocular vision development, the failure of development and the potential for recovery is essential to reduce visual deficits throughout life.
