Can a lazy eye be corrected cosmetically in someone 40 years of age?
Is there a surgery to correct a lazy eye in someone who is almost 40 years old? Cosmetic surgery maybe? Additional Details Well, I believe it is a lazy eye. When one eye gets tired, the other tends to drift.
yes laser surgery is the solution, well you need to see the ophtamologist so he can see how he can fix this, but my sister had a lazy eye and now she s fine, it s been like 8 years she has undergone lazic! You should go and find out, I think you ll be satisfied! Take care.

Do you mean a strabismic eye (eye turns in or out) or an amblyopic eye (eye does not see well even with glasses)?
Strabismus surgery is available for adults, results will depend on very individual factors. Ask your eye doctor to refer you to a strabismus surgeon.
Amblyopia cannot be treated by surgery. Amblyoia is treated by wearing glasses if needed an patching the better eye; success rates for adults is very poor; it needs to be treated before the age of 6 for best results, up to age 12 for some improvement.

I'm assuming that you mean that one or the other eye turns in or out due to the "lazy eye" condition. In this case, the muscles can be shorted to turn the eye, and sometimes botox is used to turn the eye, but neither of these procedures will restore the vision in the "lazy" eye. Cosmetically, consider seeing a pediatric ophthalmologist, even though you're 40, as they most experience in straightening the eyes.

You need to be clearer. Some people incorrectly use the words "lazy eye" to mean an eye that turns away from alignment with the other eye. This turning can be up, down, in, out or a combination of these. Realignment can be done at age 40 and above. As mentioned in a previous answer, you should see a pediatric ophthalmologist with experience in extra-ocular muscle surgery. You will find that they have probably done a number of older patients just like you.
If, however, you are correctly using the term "lazy eye" to mean an eye where the vision has not developed to the same extent as your other eye - called amblyopia, then successfully improving the vision to equal the other eye is not a realistic expectation. LASIK or any other laser surgery will only provide you with the best vision that contacts or spectacles can provide for you now - maybe a little better. If the previously referred to case of curing lazy eye (amblyopia) with a laser really did happen, it would have be the first and only, and a monumental case.
