Ophthalmologist: Sometimes a lazy eye can be treated without surgery, but an ophthalmologist is best qualified to evaluate and advise you.

Hard to say: If your lazy eye (poor vision or lack of vision) has gone on long enough, the strabismus becomes a symptom, rather than the cause, since the eye is not kept on target by the brain. The longer your brain ignores the weaker eye, the more risk vision will never be recovered.At that point surgery is just cosmetic.Review the issue with the eye surgeon.
