Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A: Amblyopia is reduced vision in an eye that has not been adequately used during early development.


Rationale: Amblyopia, also known as lazy eye, occurs when one eye does not develop normal vision during early childhood. This can happen if the child has a significant refractive error, strabismus (misalignment of the eyes), or other visual obstructions. The brain may start to favor the stronger eye, leading to reduced vision in the weaker eye. It is crucial to diagnose and treat amblyopia early to prevent permanent vision loss.

Summary of other choices:
B: Amblyopia is not a malalignment of the eye at birth; it is a condition that develops over time.
C: Amblyopia is not solely an uncorrected refractive error; it involves reduced vision due to underdevelopment.
D: Clouding of the lens caused by trauma describes cataracts, not amblyopia.
