Hello
It seems from the history that you are having ambylopia and aquint since childhood. Ambylopia is also called as lazy eye and it develops because of poor vision leafing to failure in visual development which occurs normally between 6 months to 6 years.
The ambylopia can be treated best below 6 years of age.
Since you have crossed this age it is not possible to treat it now.
Thank you
