A member asked:
With lazy eye, is it common to switch or choose which eye to focus with?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A truly "lazy" eye in an adult (termed amblyopia) will not come up in vision if the lazy eye fixates. However there is one pattern called alternation in which each eye can function independently and the person can fixate with one or the other eye completly.
