ELI5: If a person has a lazy eye does the eye look at whatever its pointed at?
gpt
Yes, but most of the time the brain will learn to ignore the input from that eye. Without this suppression, the person would always be experiencing double vision since the two eyes are looking at different images, which is obviously very visually disturbing and why it is often suppressed. If this happens at a young enough age while vision is still maturing, that eye often will not develop vision properly and will not be able to see as well as the normal eye, however.
