Can Amblyopia Be Treated Without Surgery?

Hi, i have been suffering from amblyopia since by childhood. I am suggested to have the surgery when i grow up. i am now 24. The sight is very less in my right eye while my left eye is almost fine. Is it a mandate to have the surgery done or can it be treated with any kind of medication or using glasses.
