Amblyopia : You probably had crossed eyes when you were younger & that causes double vision, you begin to use the good eye & ignore the other & that leads to decreased vision in the weaker eye with time, leading to amblyopia. At this point doing any eye surgery will just be cosmetic but it will not improve your vision. I feel sorry for you but thank God you have 1 good eye, take care of it. Good luck

Doubt it: Amblyopia or "lazy eye" occurs when the brain decides to turn off the input of an eye that presents a different,weaker or out of alignment image. If caught early and the distortion corrected, vision can be retained.After many years,surgery might help with poor alignment, but the vision cannot be turned back on after the brain left it off for too long.
