Hi, this is my first post.
My left eye was always weaker than my left its around -2.5 and -5.5 right now +astigmatism. My parents have always noticed that I have had a "lazy eye". Doctors told them a pair of glasses would fix the issue. (elementary school) With my glasses there is rarely ever any deviation except when I'm not paying attention. Although without glasses it is very easy for my left eye to slip away. I felt the glasses were just a mask or cover-up of an issue that isn't being solved. When wearing contacts it is also easier for the left eye to deviate (Although the contacts were not made for astigmatism).
I want to have normal eyes..by whatever means possible by the time I'm in my mid twenties and not now. From research I know patching will hardly have an effect. Is there a surgery that will correct the lazy eye, but then what about the LASIK?
Your best bet is to see a Eye MD ophthalmologist that specializes in strabismus. You might benefit from refractive surgery on the eye with the astigmatism and strong RX.
Any blood relatives or children of you have a 20% chance of inheriting a same problem. The fact that your problem can't be cured doesn't mean it can't be helped.
