Do glasses or contacts help with a lazy eye?

They can: If the root cause of amblyopia is due to poor focus, astigmatism or eyes turning in (esotropia) from accommodation then glasses and / or contact lenses can be curative.

Yes: Helps to eliminate refractive error. This can balance eyes and prevent amblyopia. Also help with fusion if the images from both eyes are clearer.
