you are above 10 yrs ,occlusion in other eye does not help in improving vision in amblyopic eye,only pleotics tt along with occlusion in contralateral eye can improve the vision.At the age of 17 there's no treatment for improving vision if you are having squint ing eye then only then surgery can be done for cosmetic look.
