Laser surgery doesn't fix amblyopia. I have that problem in my left eye. I passed through a short period 1980-1982 when my eyesight was 20-20 in both eyes. Good enough for my medical certificate for my private pilot's license. I could never use the binocular microscopes in college, but it never affected my ability to fly. The "lazy" eye is very sensitive to my level of rest and blood sugar. The score I achieve on a standard eye test is likewise sensitive. I'm very careful to optimize both rest and blood sugar before competing in a bullseye handgun competition.
