Well I wouldn't waste your money on gold or eternity rings looking for a cure. You can try prayer since it's free, but the results can be inconsistent

I've lazy eye and wasn't caught until age 11 at which point it's too late to fix

The issue is only partly down to your eyes, basically your brain can't resolve the vision from both eyes so it starts ignoring inputs from the bad one

This leads to the neurons in your brain being underdeveloped which in turn makes the vision in your lazy eye even worse

Vision development in the brain ends around age 8 in children so it's critical that it's caught early on. For parents I'd recommend keeping a close eye on your kids and see if they squint with one eye when looking in the distance

Often the lazy eye will turn and be misaligned with the good eye, but this isn't always the case. It's often confused with lazy eye but is actually a seperate issue

The squint and turn don't always occur, so it's important to cover one of your kids eyes and then the other and ask if their vision is blurry on one eye. We found our daughter also has lazy eye recently, luckily she's 4 so we've high hopes her vision can be corrected somewhat

Anyway, back to adults. The generally accepted science is there's not much you can do. However it's worth speaking to an optometrists (not an optician) to speak about it

Some years ago I tried wearing glasses that somewhat obscured my good eye and corrected my lazy one. The treatment is effectively the same as for children, force the lazy eye to work and develop the vision on that side

I'll admit I gave up after a few years, I found the glasses really hurt my distance vision which wasn't much use for seeing the board during college lectures. I didn't drive at the time but I wouldn't be too enthusiastic about driving with my vision deliberately impaired

It also caused some headaches, if you imagine the kind you get with eye strain then that can happen a bit

The sensation from your lazy eye is also quite bizarre. I found I could sometimes focus on things clearly but wasn't able to hold onto it. For comparison, imagine looking through a camera and constantly dialling the focus in and out

There's also been some studies about playing video games while using your lazy eye can help. The added concentration forces the eye to work harder

Anyway, best of luck, and stay away from the pseudo science scammers
