Can lazy eye get worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Lazy eye can get worse. Depending on the source, age of person, and level of vision in the lazy eye, various treatments can be helpful. This can include patching the better eye and surgery. An evaluation by a pediatric ophthalmologist or a neuro-ophthalmologist should be performed.
