Question

Answer 1

I have a lazy eye, so recognize it in others. Look in the mirror and watch your pupil while you cover the eye on the other side. If the pupil stays still, that's the eye you're using. Cover the other eye and watch the opposite pupil, and you may see it jerk just a little because it chose to see after all. If that's the case, you can practice making that eye do the work by occasionally covering the strong eye, and you can make it be more active and look more like the other one. Exercises to teach your eyes work together include playing jacks, threading beads on a string, bouncing (catching) a ball, where you have to judge distance and need both eyes to do that. I think now I apparently use one eye for distance and the other for near. Worth a try...
