126,000 UK adults study links childhood 'lazy eye' (amblyopia) to higher risks of diabetes, hypertension, and obesity in adulthood.

126,000 UK adults study links childhood 'lazy eye' (amblyopia) to higher risks of diabetes, hypertension, and obesity in adulthood. Amblyopia, affecting up to 4% of children globally, may not directly cause these health issues, but researchers suggest early detection and treatment may encourage healthy lifestyles. The study emphasizes the importance of population screening for vision.
