Can "lazy eye" be cured in children?

Robert K. Maloney (Ophthalmologist) gives expert video advice on: Are my frequent headaches due to vision problems?; What can cause temporary blindness?; What should I do if I lose my vision suddenly? and more...

Now if the condition's caught in time, that eye can be strengthened and the vision brought back. The way we do that generally is by patching or covering the good eye and forcing the brain to use the bad eye. That can also involve surgery to bring the eyes back together. But with proper treatment, that lazy eye can be reversed, but that's why we've got to catch it while the kids are still very young.
