how can you cure a lazy eye at the age of 15?

Answer 1

Fifteen is late, but not impossible.
The brain's adaptibility (and it is principally a neural isssue ) drops off with age, Some text-books put the age limit for effective change at 12, but there's no absolute consensus, whith other opinions going higher and lower than that.

Since there's no risk involved, (except the spending of time effort and money) it can be *tried* at any age.

The first requirement is to establish WHY the eye is lazy.
The vision can fail to develop for more than one reason.
There may or may not be a mis-alignment of the eyes, a turn, squint or strabismus. Getting the eyes straight if that's possible or desirable is a separate issue from attempting to produce better vision in the lazy (amblyopic) eye.

There is likely to be a refractive error in the lazy eye, and that must be corrected. The eye's retina will need a good image to work with.

This done, the basic technique involves patching off the good eye, forcing the brain to work with the lazy one. Specific visually demanding tasks can be added to just plain occlusion.
With an older eye patching for longer periods for more time is likely to be required, but this will also vary with how deep the amblyopia is to begin with.

For good results, this does really need to be done under the supervision of an optical professional. Just "having a go with a patch for a while" is not likely to achieve much.

Answer 2

I have a lazy eye myself, so I can relate to how bothersome it is for you.
When I was a kid (I am 55), they tried the patch thing, and the exercis thing, but that was in the dark ages when they really thought the eye, or the person was really 'lazy'. but that is not the case at all. One muscle that controls the side-to-side movement of your eye is longer than the other, and the only REAL correction is surgery.
In my case, this surgery wasn't readily available until I was mature and had gotten used to walking, driving, going down steps etc with MY eyes and my vision my Dr and I agreed that surgery would not be the best move for me.
But you are very young, and would very good results. Talk to your Mom and to your Opthomologist and look into it..I would say the sooner the better. That way, you would have to UNlearn how to see, and relearn when your vision is corrected.
Good luck to you!

Answer 4

My daughter has one eye that is weaker than thee other. I found this out when I took her for a check up I was told that , the brain know which eye is stronger and it makes that eye work more. She Told me to cover the strong eye for a couple of hours everyday and it would make the brain use the weaker eye. Try this I hope it will help.My daughter was 12 at the time.

Answer 5

I hear that wearing an eye patch on the other eye will help the lazy one... but ask an optometrist.
BTW; everyone has a 'lazy' eye, one that is less dominant.

Answer 6

besides corrective lenses you can do daily eye excercises. Nintendo DT has an awsome game that helps improve your eyesight but you can just try focusing on an object from afar if you dont have the game system. google eye exercises too

Answer 7

There is an operation they can do to tighten the
mussels at the side of the eye to correct problem
see an eye doctor and find out how much it will cost and if it would help you.

Answer 8
