Amblyopia: You may have amblyopia or lazy eye and your eyes fatigue from working together. See a developmental optometrist for an evaluation.

Many causes: May have an uncorrected refractive error, convergence insufficiency or other strabismus, dry eye, asthenopia, etc. Best to get an eye checkup first.
