Trendy haircuts could result in lazy eyes, expert warns

Trendy haircuts that obscure one eye could have some long-term heath hazards, according to an optometrist.

Andrew Hogan, an executive member of Optometrists Association Australia, warned amblyopia -- the medical term for lazy eye -- could result from obstructed vision caused by hair.

"If a young [person] has a fringe covering one eye all the time, that eye won't see a lot of detail," Hogan said.

"And if it happens from a young age, that eye can become amblyotic."
