Some doctor said my 4 year old grand daughter has a lazy eye. I never noticed anything. He prescribed some special glasses that I think is supposed to correct it eventually, so she won’t have to wear the glasses any more.

Well, her older brother, who is 8, has one as well, and he’s been wearing glasses since he was 2. The other day they were playing in the hose, so everyone had taken off their glasses. At one point my grandson was standing in front of me, and his left eye was so far crossed that you couldn’t even see ¼ of it. It was tucked that far in to the corner of his eye. I realize he may have been over tired at the moment, because I’ve never seen it that bad before.

Also, my sister had one. This was in the 60’s. I think they spent some time covering her good eye to force her “lazy eye” to work harder, but it was only for a few months. She seems fine now, although if you know her as well as I do you can see a tiny, tiny bit of drift in that eye. It doesn’t seem to affect her though.

Are the glasses supposed to correct it or not?
