My younger brother had a lazy eye and the doctors told him to wear an eye patch over his good eye for a couple years as a child and now he doesn't even need glasses. Definitely talk to an ophthalmologist though.

There’s some evidence that “convergence” exercises can reduce the angle that your lazy eye points outward, if appearance is your concern. In short, you would practice staring at something close and bringing your eyes together a number of times in a row each day. But talk to a doctor before trying this!

There is surgery to reposition the muscles of the eyes, but whether that’s even worth considering depends on your vision. I had esotropic strabismus which became exotropic after surgery as a child, and I have no plans to make further changes. But then I’m likely to be roughly the age of your parents rather than a teenager.

Some problems with lazy eyes can be corrected if caught very early, but for people like me early intervention may or may not have helped. If your brain doesn’t fuse the images from both eyes, there’s not much to be done.

Do you have double vision? How is your depth perception? I’ve lived with this for a while, so I could give you some pointers.

15 may be a little too old unfortunately, but maybe not. I had a lazy eye when I was a kid, and also had glasses. The doctor scratched up the lens of my good eye, forcing the lazy eye to work harder, and it actually cured it within a year or so. I ended up with 20/20 vision, well.. until I went blind that is.

Oh, and at times I was also forced to wear a patch over my good eye. Again, simply to force my lazy eye to work harder.

I have the same problem, and, take this with a grain of salt because my oftamologist is incompetent and crazy af but she is regarded as the best for strabismus and such things, she told me that after the age of 10 or so you can do nothing, and whatever she tried didn’t work so I have completely lazy right eye and my vision can’t be corrected at all, so wen it comes to correction of vision you’re very lucky there. You can still ask someone if that can be corrected, you won’t lose anything by asking, but I wouldn’t have high hopes.

I am not a doctor, but a family member we’re starting to get a lazy eye and they had to wear an eyepatch on the good eye for a few hours a day and it helps to correct it. I don’t know if that will work in your case, but maybe it could work. Like I said, I’m not a doctor may want to talk to one prior to doing it

Whether you're going back to in-person classes in the fall or doing it all online, I suggest talking to someone at your school. Vision impairment is well-known to affect academic performance. As such, it's likely that someone at school will be able to connect you with resources that can help. Maybe mention it during your next physical exam, too.

Incidentally - good for you for doing your own research and reaching out to the community for assistance. If you don't get results with the first person you talk to, keep trying with others. Best of luck to you.

Why would I care that your black anyway?
Or did you mean blind. Unless this kind of condition is more prevalent in people of African/Caribbean/Jamaican descent, which does happen sometimes.
