lazy eyes

Is there anyway to disguise you're wandering eye? Without wearing glasses or having surgery.             Thank you!

Firstly make sure you get enough rest as �misaligned eyes,� �wandering eyes� or �wall eyes,� can be constant or occur intermittently, which usually worsens when eye muscles are tired or during illness.   

Have you got glasses to support the weaker eye?

The weak eye must first be forced to work in order to allow the opportunity for clear vision to develop. This is usually done by patching the strong eye for specific periods of time, forcing the weak eye to "turn on" and practice working. Secondly, glasses are prescribed to provide the weak eye with the best support possible

I've got a 'lazy' eye which I am able to control, but that's probably because my optician sorted it out when I was a child. He didn't believe in corrective glasses as he felt they make eyes lazier so I had to do exercises every day (which basically involved staring at a pencil that was moved close to my nose).

In agreement with badgerchops. My daughter had a "lazy eye" when she was 4, she had the eyepatch on for about 4 weeks, on the good eye, to strenghthen the lazy one. Must admit, I didn't notice her squint, it was only when I took her for an eye test that it was detected as it wasn't that visible. My sisters daughter had two really visible squints and she had an operation to correct them, she is fine now, and doesn't need specs, my daughter has worn them since the patch was taken off, she is now 23 and loves the fact that specs are so trendy.
