What is the difference of amblyopia and strabismus?
Amblyopia is commonly referred to as "lazy eye." It is a vision development disorder, where one eye fails to develop normal visual acuity. Eye patching is a common treatment for this disorder. Strabismus involves both eyes. In this case, the eyes fail to properly align with one another. Surgery and vision therapy are often used to correct this problem.

What is amblyopia?
Amblyopia is also known as lazy eye, it is an eye disorder made by an impaired vision in an eye that otherwise appears normal. It is estimated to affect 1-5% of the population. It occurs when the brain "turns off" the visual processing of one eye to prevent double-vision. Amblyopia usually only affects one eye. When people have amblyopia they have to put an adhesive eye patch on the good eye so the bad eye can "catch up" to the good eye.
What is an amblyopia?

Which cranial nerve is damaged due to a medial strabismus injury?
Medial strabismus is caused by cranial nerve damage. There is no such thing as a medial strabismus injury that causes a nerve to be damaged, rather the damaged nerve causes strabismus. A strabismus refers to the misalignment of the eyes or a deviation in gaze. A medial strabismus would be the result of damage to the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI). CNVI innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which pulls the eye laterally. Therefore, if this nerve is damaged, the eye is no longer able to pull laterally, and the tonus of the medial rectus muscle acts unopposed. This pulls the eye medially, causing medial strabismus.
