Men are generally more prone to addiction than women due to a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. Biologically, men often experience a stronger dopamine response to substances, reinforcing addictive behavior. Psychologically, men may be more likely to externalize stress through risk-taking or substance use. Socially, cultural norms can encourage men to suppress emotions and seek escape through drugs or alcohol. Men are also more likely to start using substances at an earlier age and in larger quantities, increasing the risk of addiction. 

Amblyopia, known as “lazy eye,” is a childhood vision disorder where one eye has weaker vision. Often caused by disparity in vision between the 2 eyes, or strabismus (misaligned eyes), the brain suppresses input from the misaligned eye to avoid double vision, leading to underdeveloped visual pathways. Early detection and treatment are vital during childhood since the brain is most adaptable then. Treatment requires accurate vision prescription clarity and may also involve patching the stronger eye or using atropine drops to strengthen the weaker eye. Without intervention, amblyopia can result in permanent vision impairment in the weaker eye. Vision therapy and corrective eyeglasses may also be part of the treatment plan.
