I had it left eye 25 years ago and now right eye 3 days ago. Doctor said it didn’t matter which eye but since my left had scar tissue she did right eye this time.
I just went yesterday to get a look at my eyes to see if I could qualify for surgery. I went to a strabismus specialist in Houston, he told me my muscle is off so slightly that its barley visible, but he did notice it. (mild exotropia) I'm so disappointed and upset, I do suffer from headaches, sometimes if I don't focus my eyes I will see double. Its so exhausting living everyday with this, I don't take selfies because every single selfie my eye turns outwards. I never get in photos unless I have to, because my eyes don't align and its very embarrassing. My doctor said I could get a second opinion but it's so frustrating to have somebody tell you just because its the smallest movement that it isn't a big deal and to come back in 6 months. I've been researching this for about 5 years, over this time I've had people make comments about my eye and people will stare at me like they notice it but don't quite understand because they don't want to hurt my feelings. I finally got the courage up to go get an opinion and its like my hopes of having my strabismus fixed went out the window.
I am so sorry! That would be so frustrating. I remember going to my surgeon the first time and telling him I wanted to see in 3D and he told me that there was only a 2% chance. I felt so deflated. If you want to schedule a consult with me, I'd be happy to help you figure this all out! strabismussolutions.com/consult/
Hey stay humble its not only happened with you and we are not only suffered with this a lot of people have this issue so stay humble and go for treatment
Idk if its worth it or not for me :( my eye turns in very slightly and its hardly noticeable UNTIL i look certain directions or look down. Or when i get tired, my eyes are strained, or i have anxiety, i can feel my eye turning in :( and it happens all day long so I definitely am going to look in to the surgery, i just dont want them to over correct my eye since its not that bad
@@kaylafekety8656 Then vision therapy might be a better option to try before surgery. It works really well for people who can use their eyes together some of the time.
Hi, How can I send you a question? Did you have a double vision before the surgery? I'm not sure if to do this surgery, and asking for advice. BR, Amir.
You can find me on Instagram @strabismus2stereopsis my vision before and after surgery was pretty consistent. Usually, if you don’t have double vision before, you won’t have it after. I had some double before. Right after surgery I had a ton of double vision, but it slowly went away and went back to normal after 2-3 weeks.
@@sukh._.6043 I left the surgery center about 27 hours ago now. Recovery is going very well and so far, I couldn't ask for better results. Perfect binocular vision/fusion. My post op is on Thursday, but as long as these results last, it was SUPER worth it! Very uncomfortable yesterday.. tried to rest and sleep as much as possible and wear sunglasses everywhere, even inside. The light was just too much because my pupils were dilated so much. Today, though, discomfort is at a minimum. Like I said, I really couldn't ask for more at this point.

Hi, I have a lazy eye in my left eye and it’s outward, I spoke to the surgeon ophthalmologist, he told me if I do surgery it will return again after a few years, I’m very confused to do it or not!!! What do you advise me please?
I had esotropia in my right eye. My opthalmologist said that I need surgery for both eyes. And I did my right eye surgery first and then after 2 months I did the left one. It's been now almost 6 weeks I had my left eye surgery but I don't get back the binocular vision and double vision is still exist but it's fading away slowly. So is it normal to not get back the binocular vision because I'm in adult? And another question is, for the last 7 days my right eye suddenly seems exotropia a bit. Some times it becomes normal and sometimes it seem much. I'm very confused about this. Is it temporary because the eyes are healing or there's any other reason?
What makes you say that "you did not get back the binocular vision"? Back compared to what - have you ever had binocular vision? If you haven't, surgery won't miraculously develop binocular vision.
Binocular vision is very complex and needs to be fine tuned through exercises. The surgery may not stick if the brain can't properly use the images from both eyes.
Hello ... i think binocular vision is posible to create but you have to imagine how the vision should be... at first i begin like that .. for example i saw a car and then i image in my mind how it should be see ...the ubication in the tridimensional vision... in my life i began using only de left eye .. but only when i was 21 y started to use the straigt eye ... i close so much the left eye .. and with a pen i extend my left arm totatly and with my right eye y force the vision to that but i continue to only si with only one eye... but i do it , trying to have the binocular vision and with the words too... for example " bino " i see with the left eye y " cular" with the straigt eye ... and i imagine how it should look like... and one day i can create that ... the brain is so incredible and all is posible for that... but i probably have to take the surgery because the convergence insurence is a bit notorius... sorry for my english..
Your surgeon will decide that. They can actually do it on both or either one. Since the eyes work together and are a "yoked" system, there are many ways to achieve the same result.
I suffer from it also on my right eye( the right looks outward) and when I close my left eye, the right eye seems not to see clearly like the left so I don't know if it's coz it wasn't well developed or what. Moreso I'm in Africa and wonder if I could ever find a doctor here that could effectively effectively do my surgery even though I'm still looking for means to get the sum of $10,000. Please is there any advice...? THANKS.

In the end it did but I had to pay the cash up front. It was quite the process. Most medical insurance will cover it though, just let your ophthalmologist's office take care of that side.
The brain aligns the eyes or turns the eye to stop double vision. This is a brain problem, not an eye muscle problem. When you cut muscles you remove the feedback loop for muscle alignment. And depth perception is NOT improved in strabismus surgery, in fact, the opposite is true. Especially in adults. If you want cosmetic alignment for a while (a month or so), go for it. If you have to do more than 1 surgery, it means it didn't work. Just the facts.
I think that is becouse the person continues seeying with only one eye... i didnt have the binocular vision and one day i started to image how the thinks should be seen... and today i have binocular vision ..

@@Aravind--I had a surgery at 14, had some fleeting double vision, again at 35 with none and now at 67. It comes and goes depending on the line of sight. My doctor said that this a normal part of the healing process. I am only a week out. Today is better than two days ago.

Mam I m 16 nd I want to do my surgery to I have exotropia can u pls tell me that does it come back again after years ....
Please
hi how much is the cost and how long is the process? Are you awake during the surgery?
My surgery was about $10,000 (no insurance) and took about an hour. I was under general anesthesia.
I had esotropia in my right eye. My opthalmologist said that I need surgery for both eyes. And I did my right eye surgery first and then after 2 months I did the left one. It's been now almost 6 weeks I had my left eye surgery but I don't get back the binocular vision and double vision is still exist but it's fading away slowly.

sister sometimes my left eye..and sometimes my right eyes goes stright...which eye should eye i do surgery shall i do both ?
Your surgeon will decide that. They can actually do it on both or either one. Since the eyes work together and are a "yoked" system, there are many ways to achieve the same result.
I have squint in my left eye by birth but have very less vision in it so it can be fixed or not?
Yes! Go to covd.org and you can find a developmental optometrist near you that can help!
How many days after surgery rest
Pls tell me 🙏🙏🙏
3-4 days

Hey do u have full vision in ur right eye ?
I have 20/25 in my right. It is weaker and a little blurry. It was 20/30 before I did vision therapy.
@wallflower It did for a few weeks, but went back to normal very quickly once the muscles were healed.
Have you considered Botox prior to the surgery?
No, that is the one thing I haven't tried.
Well described 😍

@@titapaul4707not exactly. Strabismus is complicated and chronic. I have had 3 surgeries several years apart. Treatment varies by case and doctor.
