I'm 67 and I have a lazy eye, due to a childhood squint that was corrected, but not soon enough for the brain and the eye to connect. Lately I have been reading a lot about technology that can rectify this. There is a company called Accuvision that offer this type of treatment. But there is a lot of research about playing a version of Tetris whilst wearing 3d blue/green glasses that will do the same thing, that is persuade the brain to communicate with the lazy eye. The treatment with Accuvision is quite expensive, so I'm going to try the tetris first, but I wonder if anyone else has come across it or tried it?

I also have what they used to term as a Lazy Eye, patch over eye at school , round clinic glasses etc so not much going for me , not heard of the Tetris thing or the glasses. But will follow the thread with interest , we have to be so careful with our eyes.

Well, now my 'good eye' isn't as good as it used to be, its certainly something to think about. You don't see so much of it now, which is a good thing.

I had a lazy eye - patch, surgery - and don’t have binocular vision. I use one eye at a time and can’t control which. My brain was very uncooperative about attempts to align them better during cataract surgery. I’d be wary about subjecting them to this but do let us know how you get on..Good luck
