Very tentative theory, but lazy eye could lead to less physical skill and more likelihood of being bullied, and being bullied is bad for people.

Stress can be nasty!

I was more wondering about some common underlying cause, in metabolism or physiology that makes lazy eye AND poor heart health more likely. The brain can learn to ignore an eye if it can't see clearly - COVID has shown us that blood vessel / cell energy problems can lead to poorer eyesight ... And more heart issues. That's what I'd bet on as common cause, if there is one.
