Suggest Treatment For Impaired Vision In Eye

blinks the eyes constantly. Doctor has opined that there is diminished vision in the left eye and that the eye has become lazy and is not functioning properly. Spectacles given. The child is 10 years old. However, despite all this, we actually never realised the problem. The child watches T.V.,plays video games frequently and has never complained of loss of vision till date. Kindly advise us the course of action to be taken.
