Surgery for lazy eye, also called strabismus, is done by detaching and then reattaching various eye muscles so as to restore balance. For example, if one muscle is too strong, it can be detached and reattached at a different place to weaken it relative to the opposing muscle. A muscle can be strengthened relative to the opposing muscle in a similar way.

∙ 11y agoLazy eye (also known as amblyopia) is first diagnosed by an eye specialist. It can be treated either with providing the patient with glasses to correct vision, or through surgery (often cataract surgery).

Lazy eye in adults (over the age of 9) can now be successfully treated with a non-invasive, FDA approved innovative method utilizes a vision training software by RevitalVision. The training focuses on strengthening the neural tracts within the visual cortex of the brain, rather than the traditional focus usually put on the eye or the optical nerve itself. This technology seeks to repair the degenerated neural tracts coming from the damaged eye.

The only FDA approved therapy for adult amblyopia (which is not a surgical procedure) is a computer software training by RevitalVision. This normally involves around 40 sessions, and the average improvement experienced in RevitalVision's amblyopia treatment for adults is a 2.5-line advancement on the eye chart & 100% in contrast sensitivity.

Before adulthood, a simple surgery can get a lazy eye fixed.
