Answer 1

Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, is the eye condition noted by reduced vision not correctable by glasses or contact lenses and is not due to any eye disease. The brain, for some reason, does not fully acknowledge the images seen by the amblyopic eye. This almost always affects only one eye but may manifest with reduction of vision in both eyes. It is estimated that three percent of children under six have some form of amblyopia.


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.

The correction may be followed by:
Patching or covering one eye may be required for a period of time ranging from a few weeks to as long as a year. The better-seeing eye is patched, forcing the "lazy" one to work, thereby strengthening its vision.
Medication-in the form of eye drops or ointment-may be used to blur the vision of the good eye in order to force the weaker one to work. This is generally a less successful approach.

If not treated early enough, an amblyopic eye may never develop good vision and may even become functionally blind.

Answer 2

A lazy eye is a eye that moves slower than the more advanced one. That particular eye takes longer to focus on an object than the other eye.

Answer 3

A lazy eye is when the muscle that hold the eye in place are of different lengths. If the inner muscle of the left eye is short it pulls the eye in towards the nose. If the outter muscle is short it pulls the eye out towards the ears.

There are excerizes that can be done to help if the eyes are not extremely turned to one side.
If it is extreme, surgery can be preformed to fix it.
Check with and Opthomologist they can help.

Answer 4

A lazy eye looks like it is not sitting straight in the socket.
