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.
It cost nearly hundred dollars to write an eye exam for amblyopia and strabismus
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.
An amblyopia is the dimness or blurring of eyesight due to a fault in transmission of signals to the brain from an unhealthy eye.
Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, is the eye condition noted by reduced vision not correctable by glasses or contact lenses and is not due to any eye disease. The brain, for some reason, does not fully acknowledge the images seen by the amblyopic eye. It is estimated that three percent of children under six have some form of amblyopia.
This is caused by an eye's muscle weakning, which is not detectable by an ophtalmologist device, but it detectable with a sight examination. This is called presbyopia.

No. It is more commonly referred to as "lazy eye."
He lost his vision in his right eye due to amblyopia since he was young
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)
Lazy eye develops because of abnormal visual experience early in life that changes the nerve pathways between a thin layer of tissue (retina) at the back of the eye and the brain. The weaker eye receives fewer visual signals. Eventually, the eyes' ability to work together decreases, and the brain suppresses or ignores input from the weaker eye.
