I got alternate exotropia after hitting my head against a wall, countless times. I was drunk going to make a sandwich, but I kept wandering around the kitchen and walking while barely conscious. I was concussed, but within days my eyes straightened out, which I attribute to wearing glasses. I can still voluntarily cause exotropia if I unfocus my eyes.
Thanks, Vision Therapy, for creating & sharing this!
Nice!
I've been In a study for Exotropia, and I've had it for a while , and it's actually very troublesome. I see two of things alot, and when my eyes are tired, my eye just wanders. Sometimes it's a bit hard because people have always thought of my wandering eye as 'creepy', and people have to constantly remind me that it has wandered, because I do it subconsciously.
Hi Katie, Speaking generally from the cases we have dealt with, this is something we can help with. Of course ultimately what is needed is a consultation with Dr. Steinhauer to discuss the specifics of your case and to determine what can be done. You can schedule your consultation by visiting us at www.visionforlifeworks.com
@@visontherapy Thank you for your concern, but part of the study provided me with glasses that are supposed to help some, and even though I still have double vision, I can control it to a moderate amount. Thank you though, I appreciate it
Your not alone. I have it too. One time I got picked on for my eye constantly wander on one side. And I'm just grateful for multiple available treatments regardless of this corning type of Strabismus
Or ppl think it’s cross eyed
@@cocobun1775 I have exotrobia
How the vision therapy/exercises helps In I(XT) ,specifically in adults? Is this correcting the fusion/control only by making the deviation less frequent and more controllable,or it can lower the exodrift amount (PD) over time too?
My left eye is wandering a lot. Especially after sleeping. I have astigmatism. If I cover my right eye while still wearing glasses, my left eye will be blurry but then somehow I can focus it after a few seconds. My left eye makes strange click noises and feels a little frozen sometimes. Any advice would be much appreciated.
So i wonder, do they have a wider field of view or peripheral vision than normal?? Interesting
I have it so that It’s temporary and I see double and if I don’t let it wonder it’s almost a straining feeling and I have to let it relax
Yeah this can be extremely annoying especially while doing high stress work on the computer it really gets to driving me crazy I try to use an eye patch but for some reason that messes with my concentration to but I have found having I believe its called a stress ball or something like that ( soft pliable rubber ball) and working that in my hands and even using it to massage around neck and gently around temple and corner of eye can actually help a little, its kind of short term but it can help enough to get through a tough couple hours or so some times, but if its real bad nothing that I have found seems to help
We would be glad to help you . Please visit our website to take the Quality of Life Questionnaire and one of our therapists will be in touch! www.visionforlifeworks.com
I have the alternating extropia. Sometimes if I space our either one of my eyes will wonder off and I have terrible vision and my eye doctor has told me one of my eyes is worse then the other. It’s definitely difficult to get both eyes to focus but I can a lot of the time

My eye become like this when i focus on far object...aah.. it's weird to eye contact.
same.. did it improve
I have I-XT but unlike I've seen/heard from other cases, I can sort of control it, in a way that I can force my left eye to deviate, however it happens most when my eyes are overworked and tired. The image that splits off can be seen if I focus, the left eye appears to deviate to the left, slightly upward, and axially rotate to the right about 10 to 20 degrees. I can see how it would tire the muscles to correct that all the time.
Hi Marie yes stress and fatigue is a big trigger! And yes they are meant to be focused and relaxed instead of working hard to stay focused.
I get this when i focus on a screen or space out but when i squint it goes back to normal i have to put my left hand to my left eye to see clearly but when i use glasses it's not that frequent but only i get super focus it goes left or outward again i fear that if i do it too much it my get permanently stuck, i have this condition since like i started elementary school but i don't really remember if it got worse when i grow up, I'm 17 now

I'm in my 50's, and about a year ago, my *RIGHT* eye suddenly could not move past the mid/center point and the doctor said it was "Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia (INO)"... fortunately, full range eventually came back after a few months. Unfortunately, now the *LEFT* eye is not tracking with the right eye and starts to drift, even though it can correctly move anywhere if the right eye is closed.
It seems both these conditions are related to the Rostral / midbrain, yet the experience is totally different. Is there any DIY check involving pupils, eyelids, that might further narrow down what the issue could be.. INO, Cranial Nerve 3 (CN III) Palsy - PCOMA, etc? drifting eye - Exotropia / esotropia strabismus ? amblyopia ? Convergence insufficiency.
For example, I've read these eye disorders are often caused by mini-brain strokes, and/or thyroid issues.. if so, I assume exercising and becoming metabolically fit couldn't hurt. Are there any nutritional approaches that you know of that may help?
This is really involved and would best be answered by you contacting our clinic. Of course metabolic stability and exercise would always be helpful.
Hi, I got ptosis surgery on my left eyelid last year but I didn't realise I had hypertropia on the same eye. Also the eyelid surgery overcorrected my ptosis. So now I have hypertropia and overcorrected ptosis on the same eye. Is there any excersises I could do to fix the hypertropia because strabismus surgery is expensive. Thanks.

Why did the doctor say we doing the surgery based on his glasses????
Our daughter was recently diagnosed with intermittent exotropia. She is 2 and half year old at the moment. We were advised to wait until age four to five for any surgical procedural recommendations. How does your therapy help for this and if so, what is the time frame for such therapy and success rate? Have you dealt with such patients and what age is recommended for therapy because I have also read it could do more harm than beneficial in some cases at young age.
We help children of this age all the time, and we have great success with our therapy treatment plan. Every case is different, so we need to learn more about her case specifically to answer the rest of your questions.

Hi j singh. Can you please update the current situation. Has she improved after VT
hey i live in Sweden. do you do shipping a couple of those glasses! i try anything...
Yes, we work out shipping the necessary supplies with everyone in our program......
Ive got a question, im not sure if these are related to it but i have forward head posture and crooked teeth do you know if that causes exotropia because how crooked teeth changes the face in a negative way i dont know, does it cause exotropia? or make it worse? And is brain fog and eye twitching part of it as well? I got that too.
Per Dr. Julie: Brain fog and twitching are not typical of exotropia. If there are issues with jaw and teeth alignment or cervical spine- it can cause problems with alignment of the eyes.
My right eye goes outward 8dp and inward 4dp

Please I really would appreciate if you can let me know how is the beginning of this ( how is the progression, would the eye start moving from the middle to the corner day by day a lil bit, to finally end up in corner ?) I’m really worried because I compared my eyes and my left eye has more sclera ( white part ) than the right eye
I don’t know if I’m just imagine that or is really happening PLS ANSWER ME THANKS
Under visual stress, your eye could move outward more as the day progresses.

I'm quite upset because recently I've noticed that whenever I'm not looking at something close to my face, both my eyes turn outward. My vision is fine, but I look hideous and I don't even like giving people eye contact anymore. Im only a teenager, is there anything I can do other than get surgery / meds or glasses? Thank you!
We never recommend surgery.

Do you think exotropia can be related to an issue that happened at birth? My son's exotropia didn't appear until he was about a year old but he did have some problems during delivery.
Hi Minky and Jesse. It is possible. Most cases of congenital classification tend to show up shortly after and often happen due to birth trauma or complications. The birthing process is already a stressful process to begin with.
If one has become blind in one eye, due to blunt force trauma and now has Exotropia in the same eye, is it possible to cure this problem.
Btw great video.
We do have great success treating someone with binocular vision! Here is a video we did on that subject: ruclips.net/video/VIZR6YrYQ0o/видео.html

Hello I really need your help! I have alternating exotropia in both eyes where both eyes roll upward and stares into the sky and feel stuck in this position. Everytime i try to focus back at ground level it magnetically stares back into the sky. And I’ve been through too much it’s really tough for me to deal with and i can’t keep living in fear every single day. i mostly feel it when anxious thinking about unfortunate traumatic events that happened in my life or stressful situations. Also when im driving it happens a lot. usually during sunny days. Life is not enjoyable at all, i just want to be able to go to work. Praying you reply!! need your help badly. Thanks🙏🏽
Hi Cory. Stress is a big trigger for these reactions. But the great news is that we can help and have helped many. The best thing to do is to schedule an online consultation with Dr. Steinhauer to discuss and review your case. You can do so at www.visionforlifeworks.com. Looking forward to seeing you on the schedule and helping you get your life back!
I have this kind of problem can i use tinted glasses??? Bcs even in the sun i can't keep my eye open for long💔😢
We would suggest you get an eye exam first.
I have had this problem since I was maybe 9 or 10 years old. I am now 17 years old and have had an appointment with a doctor. She told me a 30-minute surgery was required (15 mins for each eye). I do not have double vision or a blurry one, but it has significantly decreased my self-confidence. I cannot look people right in the eyes. It is an alternative, and I can somehow control their movements, and it's not 24/24 though. Some people recommended surgery, and others strongly disapproved. I don't know if I should go for surgery or not. I am really scared that if I do it, I would ruin my muscle activity in the long term and other muscles as well. And if I didn't I would feel so anxious all the time. What do you think doc?
You are right to be hesitant about surgery for several reasons including the fact that it isnt a long-term solution and due to the frequency of reported complications. We offer an approach that provides a comprehensive solution to the things that even surgery cannot resolve. We are glad to help you whenever you are ready. Thanks for beinghere!
@@visontherapySo um, just a question, is it 100% SAFE to do the surgery? Or do I stay away from the operation?
@@eliomdgt8479 Ultimately it’s your personal decision to make. But for the record, we are not advocates of surgery because in most cases it is possible to treat an eye turn issue without it and with less risk. But The question of 100% safety is for your surgeon to answer. However I would think twice if they said it was 100% safe.
Thanks for your question.
Can chemotherapy cause this or other vision problems?
Yes, chemo and radiation can cause quite a lot of binocular vision issues.
@@visontherapy Do patients recover from their vision problems from chemo? After 10 treatments I have binocular diplopia. I`m reluctant to have the 12 treatments out of fear of permanent vision damage,
We really can't answer that since every person and their situation is different. We suggest you consult your doctor.
Is it possible to have exotropia after having esotropia? I recovered from esotropia (without any surgery) but I noticed that my eyes is now wandering outward
Yes it is possible to go from esotropia to exotropia and Vice versa.
Can this cause dizziness
Hi Jess, yes it can as the eyes are not aligned and thus resulting double vision
i have this issue when i get nervous

Is there anyone doesn't have strabismus, but CAN do it. Like, hidden talent or something. I just find out that I can actually do the exotropia on my own.
Question: Is this bad for me or no?
It generally means that you have a slight exotropia if you can move the eyes to make it obvious, but that you control it fairly well. We do not recommend doing this often, as it tells the brain that’s how your eyes should behave more frequently.
@@visontherapy I just made a video if you want to see me do it on my own.
i can do it on my will too, especially when the object is close and I'm focusing on it. im really worried
I have the same 🥰❤️😃🤩😂
me too 😂
