Once the stress event has disrupted the Vision that was probably destined to be normal binocularity, the vision starts to be more "one-eyed" and so the suppression occurs, and there are usually significant consequences thereafter.
The suppression is usually limited to just a tight central zone of the Field of Vision, the person still enjoys good peripheral vision with the Amblyopic eye.
The consequence of the suppression can be that the suppressed eye is less likely to stay straight, and the development of normal focus is disrupted; resulting in an eye that may be either not straight or very blurry compared to the other eye, or both.
There is a cost to this suppression, it is a strictly 'one-eyed' phenomenon, it is a 'two-eyed' adaption and both eyes pay a price for the suppression that occurs at the level of the brain.
Indeed for some people both eyes are suppressed as the brain’s stress-response, resulting in poorer vision for both eyes. this is called Streff's Syndrome, named after an American optometrists, John Streff.
(Some practitioners believe that the eye turns first and/or the blur occurs first, then followed lastly by the development of suppression as a response to the diplopia or fuzzy focus.)
