in fact just had a look, none of those are anything to do with a lazy eye.

they are all to do with correcting the actual eye sight!! hth.

Nope! As Kev says

All of those listed are refractive surgerys, whereas the lazy eye one was not!

the procedures for correcting lazy eyes have nothing to do with actually improving vision. It is generally for cosmetics only.

To be honest you're best off contacting your GP.

It's probably not Radial Keratotomy, as I had this done years ago to cure short sightedness...

It`s nothing to do with cosmetics Jake,common misconception is that a lazy eye is one that "droops" when actually it is just a lack of visual strength in the eye that develops from birth to 6 years old,and it`s actually nothing wrong with the eye itself,it`s a communication problem with the brain.....

Treatment for a lazy eye is usually a patch or blurring drops for the good eye to make the lazy one excercise and improve.....

The last operation on my eyes that I had was for cosmetic reasons above anything else. To be honest I was 18 and didn't really pay much attention as it was extremely nerve racking having someone fuck with your eye while your awake.
