Answer 2

You may be able to put a eye cover over your good eye and make the lazy eye muscles work hard . You could do this at home over a period of time and check how its going ~~

Answer 3

Well, there are muscle exercises that you can do to try and strengthen the eye muscles.   You can try patching the eye that focuses well, which will force the eye that drifts to focus.  Best thing to do is to talk to your optometrist.  It may be a muscle problem, or you could have an unbalanced prescription.

Answer 4

there is a surgical treatment for a lazy eye.

Answer 5

Maybe you could go to the eye doctor and get glasses for just around the house or to just keep in your locker at school so they could help some of the time anyways. Then another fix is to wear a patch over your good eye forcing your lazy eye to work for part of the day

This website doesn't mention the patching but it seems like a good site as it offers details about surgery methods and such :http://www.preventblindness.org/children...
