My right eye is short-sighted while my left eye is not?

Question

My right eye is short-sighted while my left eye is not. As a result, I have developed a "lazy eye" syndrome. How can I solve this?

Answer 1

contact your nearest Optometrists to correct your vision using laser treatment.

Answer 2

And the right eye is "lazy"? Unless it is very short-sighted, or has a lot of astigmatism, or has a squint (turn, strabismus) as well that is quite unusual. Most people learn to use the short range eye for reading and the other in the distance, so neither goes lazy.
Depending on your age, it may not be fixable.
The brain best learns to use eyes binocularly before the age of 12. Anything much after that it can be difficult to restore full function in an amblyopic eye, and though patching and exercises can show good results, it's far from reliable.
If your eyes have not learned to work together, getting glasses or one contact lens is unlikely to help on its own. The brain will still prefer its favourite eye, and so "patching" of the good eye, forcing the brain to use the other one more wil be needed. (This is about as much fun as being forced to use your wrong hand to write with, but there is no quick fix.)
It will need advice and supervision from an optometrist, as there are several ways to acquire a lazy eye, and more than one therapy.

Answer 3

Lets look back. I'm guessing you were into photography or cinematgraphy, or looking in a rifle scope, or telescope, and so on. Your right eye had some fun or time used through an instrument. I know about this, I used to camcorder it for hours every day filming chancy stuff. I think a lot of rest and a break from the beforementioned activites straightens it out.

Answer 4

Get glasses or contact lenses to correct the short-sighted eye. Then both eyes can see clearly, and the "lazy" eye will gradually function properly.

Answer 5

Have your vision corrected by using glasses with the right lens corrected and the left lens at zero or alternatively, use contact lens for the right eye only. If you do not correct your vision, your brain will tell you to use your left eye only and gradually, the vision in your right eye would become worse from lack of use.
