A member asked:

How can you correct a laxy eye?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Start : Start with glasses. If older than 9-10 the vison will not improve any more. With children glasses can help keep the eyes straight, patching the good eye will help the worse seeing eye develope. Occasionally eye muscle surgery is necessary to align the eyes.
