If you were diagnosed with Ambyopia aka lazy eye as a young child, eye patching might help. If you were diagnosed with Strabisumus aka crossed or misaligned eyes, patching will not help. If you have either of these eye problems, you should not attempt any cure without consulting an ophthalmologist of optometrist.

If you mean your eye is lazy because you are either nearsighted or farsighted, the only thing that will help are corrective lenses, Ortho-k or laser vision corrective surgery.

There is no scientific proof that eye exercises, eye vitamins or eating foods high in beta-carotene (carrots) or lutein will improve visual acuity. Numerous studies have been conducted and continue to be conducted on this subject and to date all results are inconclusive. If there were any real proof that any natural remedy could improve vision, believe me eye docs would not be able to suppress the information from the public. Anyone who says different is putting those that need corrective lenses or who have optical disease or problems at risk. Listening to quacks is dangerous to your health. Certain vitamin deficiencies can cause eye problems, but this usually occurs in poor countries where people are malnourished or because an individual's system cannot process the vitamin(s).

You really need to see an eye doctor before you start doing this. There are a lot of situations where this will not help your situation and a few it will make worse.
