Confusing question: Lazy eye is a lay term for a medical issue called amblyopia, where the brain turns off the input of an eye that gives a blurry or double vision input. Sometimes a eye doc can blur the stronger eye with glasses and turn the eye back on and sometimes surgery will bring the image into line and the eye and save the vision. Talk with your eye doc about your options.

Talk to MD: Talk to your opthamologist, there may be corrective contact lenses that might be able to help.

Many things: In some instances, patching therapy for the stronger eye can help. Lenses to correct vision in the lazy eye often work with or without prism. Eye exrecises known as "pencil push-ups" can help many people with exotropia, where the lazy eye turns out. Sometimes an eye drop is used to blur the stronger eye for awhile in order to let the lazy eye get stronger.
