My five-year-old son has normal growth, but his left eye is lazy. Will it cure itself?
I want to know about this too!

Lazy eye is a terminology, wherein the normal functional growth of the eye has been arrested for a variety of reasons.
The most common cause is a undiagnosed high number, or a squint. Due to the high number, the image formed in the affected eye is blurred with the result that the signals sent to the brain are defective from that eye.
It is very important to diagnose the condition of lazy eye - so that treatment can be started in right earnest. The spectacle number is prescribed, and the good eye is then patched - so that the bad eye or the lazy eye is forced to work - so that it becomes good again. Best results for lazy eye are obtained between the age of 5 -11 years,-with a proper treatment giving almost 100% vision
