How do you cure a lazy eye?

Question

One of my eyes does not centre properly, i.e. when I'm focused on anything, one eyes is always off to one side. It's really noticable when I'm tired. I've noticed that I can't read or look at screens with just my lazy eye, so I need both open, otherwise it seems to very well (albeit it has a very small blindspot for close objects). What I'm worried about is that my stronger will get tired of doing more work than the other and eventually give up.

How do I correct the lazy eye?

Answer 1

You need glasses. Visit  an optician for an eye test.

Answer 2

Either through surgery or patching but as you're probably too old for patching I think surgery is your only option.

Answer 3

I too have a lazy eye which droops when tired, you can,t cure it but surgery might correct the turn.  I always wore one contact lens in my other eye as not much sight in lazy one but had to revert back to glasses about a year ago due to blocked tear duct (just call me lucky) and when I went for test a month ago my lazy eye had recovered about 10% sight as it was working harder with other eye with glasses on apparantly this is common, but with no detrimental affect on good eye, hope this helps.

Answer 4

Go to your optician and tell them you're concerned about it. I had an operation on mine and it's better now, but it's still affected when I'm tired. Chances are you'll need glasses, if you haven't got them already.

It's a common thing, but if you don't get it seen to the chances are you can cause your eyesight to deteriorate rapidly in your later years and eventually become blind.

It's nothing to worry about so long as you get it checked out!

:) Hope that helps

Answer 6

Hi Keys,

I think its time for you to see an Optometrist.

Your condition might become worse if you dont treat it soon.

Your optometrist will prescribe you glasses if required and some exercises which you have to do at home or at the optometrist's office without fail. The exercises will surely help you.

Answer 9

When I was a young girl I use to have a lazy eye. My eye doctor told me to where a patch over my good eye. You would strength you lazy eye mussel. I had gotten lasik surgery, now I don't have any more lazy eye.

Answer 10

Don't worry about your good eye giving up from doing all the work.

The eyes are independent of each other. It isn't like they share the work and do 50 % each when you have two eyes.

One eyed people don't get tired in that one eye any faster than someone with both eyes.

Each eye is " working" to it's maximum all the time , whethr you have 1 or 2.

Answer 11

A friend of mine had a lazy eye and decided to undergo some simple surgery to get it fixed

She had the opp and had to were a patch for a while, but after that she was absolutely fine. amazing surgery...

I would highly recommend the surgery...
