The Facts About Whats Wrong With My Eyes? -An Informational
My mom told me i have had a lazy eye in my left eye because of head trauma from when I was born. I have two eye muscle surgeries for it, that did not work out. I went back to the doctor and she said I have a refractive error. I notice it when i cover my left eye, I can see clearly and sharpout of my right eye. When I cover my right eye, my vision in my left eyes is blurry and it looks like as if my vision in my left eye doesnt focus at all, as if my eye is shaking and will not focus. My lazy eye condition occurs only when my eyes get tired or I get sick. I now have these prescribed glasses. So how long does it take for glasses to correct a refractive error and what is the exact eye condition that I have? And also since the refractive error is causing my lazy eye, technically in my case can my lazy eye be cured with glasses or laser eye surgery?

You appear to have had as a young child a condition where the two eyes didn’t line up causing double vision which is very disturbing. To stop the double vision the person starts to ignore one of the eyes, and in time that eye becomes so weak that it quits working and starts to deviate either in or out. For cosmetic reasons and the hope the eye will start working again they operate on the eye muscles trying to line up the eyes. If this isn’t done before the age of 5 the eyes may look straight, but the vision in the lazy eye doesn’t come back even with glasses on or surgery.
