Dear lybrate-user,
Lazy eye means the vision is low in the eye and hence it has become lazy and squinting.
The treatment is most effective below 10 years of age but can be tried even at 20. Consult a reputed eye specialist at your place immediately. You might need glasses and occlusion of the good eye, so the lazy eye starts working.

Dear Lybrate user :-
Strabismus can be corrected by refractive error correction, orthoptics exercise. If above fails, then Surgical correction is being recommended to you.
