Continuity mistake: His lazy eye is not consistently on his left or the right. It switches from scene to scene. Even though in the end he says it's his right eye people should always look at.
Continuity mistake: When Angus and Mr. Hunham are at the bowling alley, while playing a game, Angus looks to his left to see some girls giggling at him as he speaks with Mr. Hunham. In shots of Angus from in front, he has his arms to his sides, but when the camera cuts to the angle showing Angus looking at the girls, his arms are crossed. It cuts back and forth a couple of times from arms crossed to not.
Answer: The best information I read was from an online "People" magazine article. Actor Paul Giamatti says he is sworn to secrecy on how the lazy eye effect was achieved, other than to say it was "movie magic." I hope someone finds additional information and shares it here, as I'd like to know more.

According to a YouTube video from WhatCulture that I watched today, Giamatti recently revealed on the Howard Stern Show that he wore a big soft contact lens, which practically blinded him in that eye.
