my right eye is slightly higher than my left, does this mean I have lazy eye?

Question

does not wearing your glasses cause lazy eye?

Answer 1

Not really.Lazy eye is when your both eye vision acuity are difference by 2 lines or more.That can be get when you go for eye test,let says for your left eye have a perfect vision(can see smallest letters when eye test), but right eye just can see until the letters which above 2 or 3 lines from the smallest letter, then you may be have lazy eye.You can try to execise the weaker eye by cover the perfect vision eye,let it exercise when watching tv or so on.But for sure it need time.
If just the power is difference but both eye when test 1 by 1 can see until the smallest letters then you don't have lazy eye.

Answer 2

No, facial asymmetry is very common and has no great bearing on the risk of a lazy eye.

Having significantly different Rx's in the two eyes and not wearing glasses *when very young*, has a strong correlation with amblyopia, "lazy eye".

If you are old enough to be here, the odds are incredibly high that wearing or not wearing glasses now would make no difference to you having, getting, or getting rid of a lazy eye.

Answer 3

'Lazy eye' is generally used to describe the condition amblyopia. This means that even with a full glasses prescription the 'lazy eye' will not see as good as the other eye. It can have a number of causes including strabismus (eyes looking in different directions) or, yes, a LARGE difference between scripts of your eyes.

Having a script that is slightly higher in one eye than the other does not mean you have 'lazy eye'. I've actually got a 2 dioptre difference between my eyes and don't have a lazy eye.

Answer 4

I don't know what causes lazy eye, but i used to have it. It has nothing to do with uneven eyes. It's when one eye doesn't look the same direction as the other. like if you look all the way to the right without moving your head and your right pupil is all the way to the right but your left pupil is looking forward. This is an extreme example, but it's easier to understand.
Hope i helped

My Dear, I don't know who you are but i want you to practice a little strategy that i have for life. Stop feeling innocent. Confront what hurts you and get used to it so that you don't feel hurt anymore. Some people are made to be broken, like you are, like i am , and that is not a bad thing. Because those people have a purpose in life much greater purpose than the purpose of those low lives who cannot think about anything else but forming opinions and being judgmental. No you shouldn't commit suicide! Your life is precious. People would continue to hurt you, but its your choice whether you want to be hurt or not. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Do not give them the consent or the license to hurt you. Please. You deserve much much better. Make friends who are bigger than judgmental perceptions. In fact let friends come to you. You have a better purpose in life, continue to spread love regardless of what people think about you. For one day you'd find friends who are worth you! Give yourself a break. Stop feeling that you are "ugly" because you are not. Be confident about yourself. And if this means anything with you, "I am with you." PS: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I understand that you've been hurt terribly but change that hurt into your strength :)
