The optician and glasses, sentence 9

A lazy eye, or amblyopia, means one eye has not developed sharp vision, and covering the good eye with a patch makes the brain use the weaker one; treatment works best in early childhood, and if it's left untreated the weak eye's sight can stay poor for life.

Who acts: lazy eye, one eye, covering, brain, treatment, sight · What happens: mean, not develop, cover, make, use, work · To what, where: sharp vision, good eye, brain, weaker one, treatment · Speech: someone speaks here
