Use contact lenses: There are mainly two types of lazy eyes. One caused by deviation of the eye allignment called "strabismus", and the other caused by signinficant difference in prescription between the two eyes called "anisometropia". With strabismus, eye is already deviated and you will need surgery to make them straight. With anisometropia, using proper prescription contact lenses is the key.

Glasses and exercise: If your vision is not clear and you need glasses, this may help the "lazy" eye remain straight. Sometimes, there needs to be a prism in your glasses to keep your eyes straight. There are some vision exercises that can help as well. Visit your local eye doctor for assistance.
