Are there any treatments for adults with lazy eye???

Question

I know that patching is an option for small children, cause there eyes are still development, can anything be done for an adult?

Answer 1

Try to find an optometrist that does vision therapy. Call your local optometrist and they should be able to help you find someone or contact your state board of optometry and they shoud also be able to point you in the right direction.
Although results are much better in younger children, many adults still can benefit from VT. Good luck and don't give up!

Answer 2

You can still talk to your doctor about it, but I'm sorry to say that I've read up on it (because I kind of have one too) and that it's not likely to be able to be treated after age 17 (and I'm 18...my luck right?)

But I say I kind of have one too because, lazy eye's is one lid hanging really low and that really messes up your vision, and I can see perfect through both eyes, so for me it's a physical flaw.
