It can improve any age til 35 because plasticity of the tisses ,but before age of 13 the chances of getting back vision is pretty good. It needs a systematic treatment with your compliance and attention for treatment. Tab citacolone also helps and there are many android apps for exercise and more details of refraction and status of eye condition are need

Diminition of vision without any pathology is known as amblyopia & in common language called lazy eye. Amblyopic eye can only be treated upto 10 yrs with the help of occlusion &,pleoptic treatment which is not available every where, you will have consult eye hospital with well equipped orthopedics & pleoptic department with well trained paramedical staff.Parents  with amblyopic child will have to search such hospital .I have experience of minimum 2000 children getting 6/6 or 6/9 from less than 6/60 vision but diagnosis of amblyopia before 10 yrs is must because there is not much improvement even after dedicated pleoptic treatment for 2-3 months. Lazy eye ultimately leads to divergent squint because eye takes its anatomical position, our eyes are straight because vision keeps eye straight. Eyes with no Vision or very less vision will always lead to divergent squint, so eyes with divergent squint even after squint surgery again results into divergent squint. Most important point to note here is if amblyopic child vision is restored normal with the help of pleoptic treatment & then operated for Squint surgery, it will remain straight & have binocular single Vision through out life & child will never face the problem of divergent squint again in life.

Lazy eye can be treated at any age but chances of visual improvement reduce with age. Still you can give it a try. Start patching your left eye for 6 hrs a day. I would still advise you to consult an eye specialist before starting patching there are other treatment options also available depending on the cause for lazy eye.
