What can fix my eye problem? Help!
So, my problem is a little hard to explain but I'll do my best.
Basically, my vision is focused on my right eye. My doctor once said that my brain "shut down" my left eye. When both eyes are open, I still have peripheral vision in my left eye, so it's not completely blind or anything. When I close my right eye, it seems as though I could see perfectly through my left eye if it was "on", only, because my vision is directed out of my right eye, there's a kind of shadow or screen in front of my left eye vision because of the darkness that my right eye is seeing.
Doctors have said that no amount of magnification can help, which is obvious of course.
I guess I just want to know my other options. I would give anything to be able to see clearly out of both eyes, and I would appreciate any suggestions!
Thank you!

It sounds like you have amblyopia and you've developed "suppression." This happens because the brain was receiving confusing information early on in childhood and made the correction by "suppressing" the vision from the left eye. I'm sorryl, but there is probably nothing that can be done at this point (assuming you are greater than the age of 9).
