A member asked:
Is there a surgical procedure to fix my lazy eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A surgical procedure can correct the alignment of a "lazy eye" to make it appear straight. But if the vision is reduced in a lazy eye ("amblyopia"), then after the age of about 8-10 years it can't be improved to the normal level in most cases.
