Reply to comment by AirborneRodent in ELI5: When scientists say babies have blurred vision, how do they know? by DreadMCYT

My eye doctor told me this is what happened to my left eye. My vision in my right eye is very good, but the vision in my left eye is terrible. If I close my right eye, I can only make out letters if they're several inches tall. Is there any way of correcting this as an adult?

Sorry. The traditional textbook answer is that no, it's not possible after childhood.

However, there's a blurb on the wikipedia page that says that may be outdated knowledge. There is tentative evidence that it might be possible. If I were you, I'd look into the linked sources on that wiki page and talk to your doctor about your options.
