Default Is there any cure for lazy eye/amblyopia?

For an adult (past childhood/teen years), can a lazy eye be rebilitated into a normal eye?

Yes, although the treatment is kind of strange. Check with an optometrist first though: If you already wear glasses, use black electrical tape to cover the lens of the "good" eye and wear it as often as possible. This will train your lazy eye to correct itself. If you do not wear glasses, then another method would be an eye patch. These can be purchased at most drug stores, or at this time of year, costume shops. I know 3 people who have used this method and it has worked. Please check with an eye care specialist first though to be sure that there is not an underlying cause such as a tumor.
