Answer 1

At that age, a patch wouldn't help. Really, nothing besides surgery would work.

To make it easier to live with though, get glasses or contacts. That's about all I can suggest.

If you feel like your current eye doctor is irresponsible, find a different one. An eye doctor would be able to help better than a random person on the internet.

Answer 2

if thsi had been caught at a younger age it would have been better,  try patching  it, maybe it will help ... but you know to patch your good eye for a few hours a day and test yourself after 3 or 4 weeks

Answer 3

hey man i have the same thing.  my eye doc recomended these exercises and they do work.  talk to an eye doctor about this.  you can exercise your eye to make the muscle around your eye stronger.

Answer 4

ya this happened to my friend all i know she had to get surgery which just stoppped the lazy eye, but didnt improve the sight
