I suggest you ask this question to an eye specialist.
They might know if there's ways to fix this. I usually talk about new discoveries in research with my eye doctor, to see how far the research have come, and if it's possible to cure me fromm my impairment.

I’m not an expert on your condition but from a quick google it seems mostly retina related (correct me if I’m wrong).
Surgery to fix a lazy eye primarily deals with the eye muscles and doesn’t mess with the actual vision whatsoever, so I don’t see why you couldn’t get it done. (And from personal experience, the only way it affects vision is that it limits the range of movement of the eye so you don’t technically lose peripheral vision but you kinda do because you can’t get that extra movement, if that makes sense?)

That makes sense ya. I just figured that my eye is rotated the way it is because it has to be that way to see forward. So if I turn it then my vision would be screwed up from it. But I can ask my doctor next time I see him.

I don’t know why we have lazy eyes but lemme tell ya it’s weird as fuck to get the surgery, but your brain learns how to merge the two new alignments after a while
