Do this work to fix lazy eye?

I’ve heard from some people that if you cover your good eye your lazy eye will adjust and get better is this true or does it ruin your eye? I need a free way to NOT wear glasses because I cant afford contacts (and Im kinda scared of them) and I definatly cant afford Lasik any info my fellow Smarties?

Answer #1

true I just need a bit more answers before I go and make myself blind lol :) thank youz

Answer #2

I don’t think that works because if it does then everyone with a lazy eye would do it and no one would have a lazy eye

Answer #3

I have a lazy eye and yes covering it will help.also if you go to an eye doctor,they may perscribe glasses that will make the lazy eye work harder.When I was five or six they did surgery to try and fix my lazy eye.they shortened the muscle in my eye lid, so now when I go to sleep that eye stays open…what a way to freak people out lol.sometimes it gets dried out and gives me a bad headache.But yeah my suggestion would be to go ahead with the eye patch, but also see the eye doctor for glasses.I hope this helps.

Answer #4

Lol well when I was little, I had a playmate who had lazy eye and she had her good eye patched. It’s not just a myth. And after doing a quick research online, it’s a real, and good treatment. You should get a doctor/optometrist to check out your eyes and give you the options best suited to you.

I too have a lazy eye.

one way to address the problem is to do exercises to strengthen your eye muscles

hold a pen about 8 inches away from your face and in front of your nose.
Focus on it.
slowly bring it in towards your nose, trying as hard as possible to keep it as one image once the single image turns into double, move the pen out and away from the face again until you have a single image Do this for 5-15 minutes a day.

when I was in the 6th grade, an optometrist told me to do that exercise for 5 minutes, 3 times daily and my eyes would straighten in a year I didnt listen However, when ever I do perform the exercises for a good amount of time, my eyes will not wonder (especially not with contact)

another thing to consider doing is to make a mental note to try and focus your eyes when in public or just in general.

Good luck!

Answer #7

I have a lazy eye too but I cant really tell the difference between normal sight and blurred sight.

I got told to use the eye patch method but didn’t think it could help me in the long run so I decided to focus on the tip of my nose which give me perfect site for a couple of seconds but if I do it for longer times I think it will eventually cure it :)

I don’t really care what anyone else thinks if they laugh big deal just live your life to the full :)

hope this helped

Answer #8

Besides in bed or shower I get my glasses next week my answer I had asked my specialist eye doctor so im sure this is right
