Contact lenses might work depending on the cause of your lazy eye. Sounds like your lazy eye is more of a brain problem than an eye muscle problem. If wearing glasses makes your eyes straight, then maybe its a brain problem and contact lenses can work for you. But I really don't know for sure. I have a lazy eye too, but my eyes are always crossed even with glasses. The muscles in my right eye are really bad and I can't really control it. I can move my left eye in any direction, but my right eye always looks inward. Sounds like you have more control over your lazy eye than me. Hope this helps a little.

"help" is exactly the right word.
It's rare, but possible, for glasses to be the only fix needed in a young child with early amblyopia.
More normally they will be used to put the two disparate eyes on a more even footing together with patching and visual exercises to develop the eye that the brain has, for very good reasons, neglected.

It depends, there are many different types of "lazy eye". One kind (called accommodative esotropia) can be resolved almost immediately by adding positive lenses to the lazy eye. Other types are much more complicated and require patching, vision therapy, or even surgery done by an ophthalmologist.

Sometimes it can if it isn't to severe. They put prisms in the lens that pulls the eye the opposite way.

Yes, but it is best to wear a patch though. I had to wear patches and it helped a bunch but it aint 100% better.
