I'm afraid there is very unlikely to be any effective treatment for a lazy eye, amblyopia, at your age. Most older text-books put the limit for effective therapy at 12 years of age, but more modern ones tend to be even more cautious. Do not go for surgery, it will do nothing for your vision. It would require at least three months of wearing an eye patch over your good eye for most of your waking hours even to make the attempt. This is seriously not recommended.
That's the bad news.
Now. I was very surprised when you said you would not be allowed to drive with only one good eye. This is most unusual for an ordinary driving licence, though vision in two eyes is required in most countries for higher grade licences for driving heavy goods vehicles, buses and coaches.
Looking on the www. for information on driving in India, (I'm in the UK and need English-language sites)
I came to: (URL1) Look at question 4!
It may be that while you could not pass the simple screening test, all you need is a note from an optometrist!
And here (URL2)
There is no suggestion that monocular vision stops people driving in India, although it carefully records that some countries do require a higher standard for one-eyed drivers.
Best wishes,
UK Optometrist.

I have had a lazy eye since I was 2 yrs old. I have always felt very self conscious about it. Finally I had the surgery done in 1980 and I regret it. I think I waited too long and i didn't go to the right place to begin with. As far as I know lazy eye can only be fixed is through surgery. Please be sure to get some referrals from doctors and friends. Now is the time to do something about it, when you are young. Take care and God Bless you. I pray that all goes well for you.

Pugs are known to be lazy creatures, they don't exercise much b/c their smushed in face makes breathing difficult when they become overactive. As others have suggested you can take him to the vet to check for any underlying medical causes, you could also take him for walks, daily, try and get him to be a little more active, maybe he needs a playmate, if any of your friends have small dogs that are friendly you could see if social interaction works. Breeding is definately not the answer, most of the pugs I've met are the same way, lazy and as long as he's not overweight and he's happy, you should be happy too.

I had the surgery when I was18 it helped the looks of it a lot but I still don't see out of the eye well but it looks like it should no one knows the difference now .Fact is if the surgery isn't done at a very early age it isn't as successful.
