Question:
What can be done for a 10-year-old who just discovered he had a lazy eye?
Answer:
The conventional thinking is that usually after the age of 7, little can be done to improve the function of a lazy (or amblyopic) eye. That said, it wouldn't be unreasonable to try a course of patching or penalization to the good eye, to see if there were any improvements in the lazy eye.
