Can a lazy eye correct itself? I have had a lazy right eye since the age of 9. This was never corrected properly , i.e. through patching or prisms. As I gradually became more myopic I unreluctantly began to wear glasses. Although I still do not have a prescription to correct my lazy eye, I do have one to correct my astigmatism. My eye is no longer as lazy (visibly at least) as before I began to wear glasses. It is only when I work for long periods on the computer that my eye begins to drift. Is it necessary to have my lazy eye corrected through prisms (no optometrist has yet suggested this to me despite my clear squinting in eye examinations). My left eye currently does all the work when I read or work on computer. Theoretically I should not wear my glasses for close work but I can't see very well without them. It's a no-win situation! I would like to hear from anyone else who has or had similar problems before I consult a specialist.

IT was also discovered that I had lazy eye when i was 8. I am presently 28 and am still wearing glasses to correct the astigmatism. MY vision has gotten worse, and since it was discovered after i was six, the doctor warned that it would not improve, that I would eventually become functionally blind from that eye. So much for encouragement

I went looking for the same information and found that supposedly using Prismatic glasses made in England and medication therapy composed of Carcere Carbonica and another natural remedy can be used to correct the lazy eye syndrome. I am trying to locate a doctor who will supervise such a course of medication but have not found one yet. I am still looking and appreciate any help you can give me in finding such a doctor.
