Go see your doctor: More specifically, go see (no pun intended) your optometrist (od) or ophthalmologist (md or do). Your od can make initial assessments but if you truly have amblyopia, you'll need to see an ophthalmologist if surgery is required. But perhaps some patching etc can help first. By the way, usually only one eye is lazy. Check out http://www.Aoa.Org/x4699.Xml & http://www.Aapos.Org/terms/conditions/21.

Get eye exam: Your inability to focus could be due to a number of problems. Get an eye exam soon.
