Any older adults with double lazy eye?

Hello @elke1211, I try to be one of those glass half full instead of half empty folks. I'm thinking at 49 you are still a youngster. I don't know what options might be available for lazy eye (amblyopia) but I think it might be worth seeking a second opinion from a specialist. @angelflorida, @karen22, @marshgirl and @ihatediabetes have mentioned amblyopia in other discussions and may have some suggestions for you.
I did find some information on treatment in adults that might be helpful:
-- New hope for adults with amblyopia (lazy eye): https://www.news-medical.net/health/New-hope-for-adults-with-amblyopia.aspx.
Have you thought about seeing an eye specialist to see if there may be newer treatments?

Hi everyone,
Yes I have had amblyopia since I was a child. Now I just hit 60 years old. I did explore eye muscle surgery, etc. But in the end the doctors recommended conservative care so no surgery.
I have benefited from putting a little prism in my glasses because I had a misalignment. I definitely think my vision has gotten better with the prism and my eyes are working better together even at age 60. But I think eye muscle surgery would have been too much too fast.
