Why it's important
Eyes are the MOST important feature that you can have and ruining the most important thing is just brutal. Having an asymmetrical eye can hurt your looks/appearance. Having symmetrical eyes is crucial for both functional and aesthetic reasons.
What is a Lazy Eye?
Lazy eye (Amblyopia)
Decreased eyesight due to abnormal visual development.
When nerve pathways between the brain and an eye aren't properly stimulated, the brain favors the other eye. Lazy eye is largely a neurological condition.
What causes Lazy Eye
- Strabismus
- Cataract
- Refractive error
- Droopy eyelids
How To Fix
- Nonsurgical methods RANKED
1. Wearing an eyepatch (Piratemaxxing)
wearing an eyepatch on your stronger eye will train/force the weaker eye and that will help build the neuro connection to enhance the weaker eye.
2. Eye Workout
For some ppl who dont have an eyepatch. like the pirate method eye workout is for you to train the weaker eye.
Do an eye workout while closing your strong eye so your weaker eye is more focused. there are a lot of eye workouts but here are some I recommend
3. Glasses/Contacts
This might help by correcting the Refractive error (the causes of lazy eye)
4. Eyedrops
Atropine Drops: "Atropine drops are used to dilate the pupils and blur close-up vision in the stronger eye" This make weaker eye to work harder.
