Eye exercises might help, but won't help very much if it is the only form of treatment you use. Patching is typically used. Since children tend to remove these patches, there are some alternatives, like prosthetic contact lenses. Atropine eye drops might also be used.

What is amblyopia?
Amblyopia is also known as lazy eye, it is an eye disorder made by an impaired vision in an eye that otherwise appears normal. It is estimated to affect 1-5% of the population. It occurs when the brain "turns off" the visual processing of one eye to prevent double-vision. Amblyopia usually only affects one eye. When people have amblyopia they have to put an adhesive eye patch on the good eye so the bad eye can "catch up" to the good eye.

Is there any medicine to treat amblyopia?
Amblyopia refers to the development error of the eye(s) so any treatment is concerned with 'tricking' the eyes in to force the poor eye to work hard. For example if the amblyopia is in the left eye, the right eyes vision is intentionally impaired to force the left eye to develop and progress through the learning process. Treatment methods can include a physical occlusion of the good eye (either by using a patch or glasses with a blurred/blanked lens), or by using eye drops which have the same effect. Treatments for the underlying problem which has caused the amblyopia can vary (such as cataract treatment)
