Lazy Eye after detached retina surgery

Lazy Eye after detached retina surgery

When I was 8 a routine eye exam led to the doctors noticing that I had a detached retina.  The doctors said it was most likely caused by Juvenile Retinoschisis.  So I had laser surgery and had a Sclarel Buckel placed on my right eye.  About 4 months later the buckel was removed and my retina remains attached to the present day (I am 23).  My vision out of my right eye (one that had the detached Retina) is weaker than my left eye which is causing Double Vision and the apperance of a lazy eye.  

I have two main questions.  First, would Eye Muscle Surgery be an wise option for someone with my eye history?  I would be very happy if this surgery would fix simply to cosmetic apperance of my eyes (both eyes looking in the same direction).  But of course I have my dream of someday having both eyes work together.  But the difference in each eyes vision is too drastic that I doubt this is possible,  So secondly, I was wondering if there are any new surgeries or anything that can increase the vision in my right eye so my eyes could work together.  
Thanks
