                                While most 'lazy eye' cases are caused by uncorrected vision problems, a distinct and rare condition known as nutritional amblyopia directly results from severe dietary deficiencies. This form of optic neuropathy is primarily attributed to a lack of B-complex vitamins, impacting the nerves necessary for sight. A balanced diet is critical for overall eye health and can support the brain's visual pathways.
