  No, I don't think stress could cause lazy eye. As to lazy eye, it refers to diminish of vision in one or both eyes. It is called amblyopia too. Possible causes of lazy eye include the misalignment of two eyes in childhood or extreme imbalance of myopia or astigmatism degree of two eyes. When the brain faces a blurry image and a blurry image, the brain choses to ignore the blurry eye. If this situation persist for quite a long time, the blurry eye would get gradually dysfunctioned and even blind finally. So far, I see no proof leading to the direct connection between stree and lazy eye. If you do have lazy eye, I think you should visit an eye specialist as soon as possible to get proper treatment. For little kids, special glasses and patching would help to correct the lazy eye effectively.
