Lazy Eye Question?

Question

Is there a way to surgically fix a lazy eye?

Not a really bad one, but just a slightly noticeble one?

Answer 1

Yes. See your optimologist.

Answer 2

Before treating amblyopia, it may be necessary to first treat the underlying cause.

Glasses are commonly prescribed to improve focusing or misalignment of the eyes.

Surgery may be performed on the eye muscles to straighten the eyes if non-surgical means are unsuccessful. Surgery can help in the treatment of amblyopia by allowing the eyes to work together better.

Eye exercises may be recommended either before or after surgery to correct faulty visual habits associated with strabismus and to teach comfortable use of the eyes.

Answer 3

Typically you would wear a patch over the strong eye forcing the use of the weaker eye to make those lazy muscles stronger.

Answer 4

Yes, lasik surgery can help. Also, one thing that helped my lazy left eye was wearing contacts-it "woke up" my sight in that eye by having clear vision in it. Other ways to improve your eyesight are the Bates Vision Method, eye exercises. Good luck.

Answer 5

Yes, they can actually go in and tighten the eye muscles so the eye won't wander, but they have to be careful, you don't want to over tighten the muscle or then the eye won't move enough. Make sure it's a good, credible surgeon.
