Turning on vision: The brain utilizes the input of both eyes to aid in depth perception/distance etc. As a child grows, their eyes may have different strength, or weakness in an eye muscle may allow one to line up wrong. The fuzzy or double vision confuses the brain. Over time the brain may turn off the input of one eye & keep the best. If it has gone on too long rx may not help but an attempt is worth trying.

Amblyopia: I always recommend a second opinion from a pediatric ophthalmologist, preferably one who teaches in an academic/university teaching hospital.
