Eye exam.: If you are worried if you have amblyopia, this can be easily detected by a simple eye exam. Your vision should be 20/20 in each eye with best correction.

Eye exam: Lazy eye can be drifting out or in, or sometimes is aligned but has a weaker visual acuity potential than 20/20 (thus can't be corrected to 20/20).
