Good luck with your recovery!

Omg the surgery turned out great! You go the result I want, I'm obsessed with people that have one eye thats looking in (towards the nose) a tiny tiny bit.

That’s crazy they do it whilst you’re awake right there in the office and yeah I can definitely see why you felt like you were going to pass out, your brain is like “there’s a guy cutting my eye open with a sharp object and I’m just supposed to sit here and let him do it”. Always remember to breathe, re-focus, rationalise and breathe from your belly. That’s what I tell myself at the dentist and it works. I have hypertropia where my eye deviates upwards. My optician said I’ve had it my whole life but could get surgery like you did but we’ll see if I’m ready for that in the future. Thanks for the vid.

The end results are incredible. I feel reassured that I will be fine when I get my surgery. Thank you!

Very nice video. Serves as an awareness to others that it can be corrected. I suffered a lot because of my eye problem my right eye turns inward while my left eye is straight. I was the only kid in town with such condition. I was the center of bully during my school years. I became introvert, always had self-pity, I avoided people, I never joined team sport games in school. After high school, I wanted to join the military or police but I was disqualified because of my eye. I felt useless. I started entertaining some suicidal thoughts. I pity to much my mother that I don't want to give her any problem. At 25 years of age I got a baby and it give me that determination to keep going I want to see him grow up and live a successful life. I was 31 years old when I finally had my eye surgery. I felt I lost that 10 years of my supposedly productive years (from 20 to 30 years of age).

My daughter was born with this and I’ve noticed it’s getting worse. They were hoping that by her follow up appointment they could try using eye patches to strengthen the one eye that is worse than the other. However, they warned me we will probably need to do surgery if it gets too bad. They want to wait until she’s at least two if that happens but I am so nervous to have her go through with that. I don’t know if it’s better to do it now or to wait until she’s older, but so many people ask about it and I’m afraid it will make her self conscious when she starts school. It’s so frustrating to have to watch her eye push out every time she tries to focus. Thank you for being so detailed it gives me a lot to think about.

Never had binocular vision, have always been a switch-hitter. 10 or so years ago right eye started going divergent. Some trouble with left one tracking as well. So mine lasted about 50+ years. I didn't know it wouldn't last. I wonder if it was close computer work that did it. Changed jobs to graphic design at about that time and with nose in screen, favoured my left eye which has always been stronger. Interesting.

Hey How did it go for you?

I am now 71 years old. I’ve had divergence insufficiencies since I was 66. I had every neurological test available done twice in different facilities. There was never a dr who could even prescribe me glasses that would help with the dv. Not even a developmental optometrist. My first two pediatric strabismus drs told me I was not a candidate for surgery. I recently went to a new pediatric strabismus dr in one of the first facilities I had gone to and this dr said yes to surgery. I have been going to a vision therapist trained in NORA for 39 weeks. I’m going to graduate soon, but have no difference with my dv. My current diopters are 12. You cannot see my strabismus at all. Does this sound right to you? I’m very worried and a little skeptical, but this dv has ruined my life. Thank you.

I already have an eye surgery for my left eye when I was 12 years old due to muscular or nerve issues that pulled my left eyelid down when I was prek or k, but I did not need suture adjustment. When I was 17 years old, I have Graves’ disease and for few years now my left eye got lazy, smaller than the right eye, and my left pupil got misaligned when I look straight or to the left, my pupil just goes up. I also have congenital Chiari one malformation on the left side of my brain, it’s mild, so I went to see a neuro ophthalmologist in 2019, but he did nothing for my misalignment. Recently my ophthalmologist referred me to strabismus specialist, he said because this is a muscular problem, the neuro ophthalmologist won’t fix it. I’m so scared to have my left eye surgery in the future now after watching this video because I’m sure I would pass out if I have to do suture adjustment. I have 4 kids to take care of too, I have no relatives or even friends in NY. And none of my cousins in NJ can help me out because they have many kids there too and have to work also.

Hi Don, surgery is definitely a tricky situation. Looking into vision therapy might be a good option. I can visit with you over zoom about your options, you can schedule at strabismussolutions.com/consult/

Did they use general or local anesthetic on the first surgery

My 3yr old son has intermittent exotropia in both eyes. It started around 6 months old, so it has been a long 2.5 years of trying to correct it with eye patches, and eye drops. He was referred to a surgeon at 1.5yrs old, because weren’t seeing any change in his eyes getting better. The surgeon wanted to continue doing corrective treatments until the age of 3, with appointments at the hospital and his surgeons office every 3 months. We just saw his surgeon again last week, and he said it’s time for surgery, so I signed the papers, and he said we will be doing it in 6 months (July), so that he is fully healed by the time he starts pre-k in September. It sounds like surgery for my son, will be a bit different than yours. He said that there is a chance that the eyes might turn inward afterwards, and that he may eventually need a 2nd surgery, which I’m guessing is due to his age. I’m super excited that he is finally getting surgery to correct his eyes, but I’m extremely nervous because they actually need to make an incision at the outer side of his eyelid crease, which will thankfully be closed with dissolvable glue. He also said that the the sides of his eyes, to his hairline is going to be swollen for a few weeks, and very bruised for around 6 weeks. He won’t have any eyesight for the first 24hrs, because we will have to keep them covered, and then he has to avoid direct sunlight and heavy activity for 6 weeks post op. It’s going to be a really long and boring summer for him, which is going to be difficult because he lives for the outdoors, and because of where we live, we spend 6 months stuck inside due to our very cold (-40•c) winters. We are crossing our fingers that his eyes will be good to go by September, because both his surgeon and my spouse and I, want avoid him possibly being bullied.

I would look into mewing, aka orthotropics. I say this as someone who has had never had vision problems, to it degrading over the past few years and I had realized what had happened from old photos. The upward strength of the back third of your tongue supports your head, left and right hemispheres. If the support of your tongue disappears for months, years, it gets worse and vision can be affected. I swear I’ve been back and forth with 1/3rd the capability of my sight and the solution is found in orthotropics.

Mine were never the same anyway so it didn't change before or after surgery.

Hey i have the same condition that is my eye looks the same like how your eyes looked before, and i have some questions olease try to answer 1) Are there chances that i could loose my vision in this surgery? 2) Is the retractor process always needed in the surgery or it was performed just because your eye balls turn too much inwards? 3) Does it affect the vision in any way? 4) What's the worse that is possible if the surgery goes wrong? 5) Is there no other way then surgery to cure it?

Hey! I’m getting my surgery tm and thought I’d help you out 1) No, as the surgeon does not operate on your vision nerves/ area 2) Yes, but you will be asleep and will never feel it 3) Well it depends. If you have double vision yes it will stop that. Also it will help contacts/glasses work better as the eyes will now be working together. 4) It won’t work, and you may need another surgery. Or the alignment won’t be satisfactory for you. (these are both extremely rare) 5) Again it depends. Vision therapy MAY BE an option HOWEVER, it will take abt a year and it’s not recommended as the eyes most likely will cross again. But in my case this was not an option and surgery was the only thing I could do. Hope this helped! Lmk if you have any other questions!

Hi there! I agree with @sanabel19 on the first two, but have a slightly different perspective on the last 3 questions. 3. Surgery can help improve peripheral vision if the eyes become more aligned. For rare cases, the surgery can eliminate double vision, but this is more the exception than the rule. 4. I agree that poor alignment is not a great outcome, this happens about 20-30% of the time depending on diagnosis. Worse than a poor eye alignment is double vision. 5. Vision therapy is another great option. It doesn't always completely fix the eyeturn, but for 70-80% it does without the need for surgery. Sometimes you can combine VT and surgery for an ideal result. Explore options. Just because the surgery tells you VT isn't an option, doesn't mean it's true. Do a consultation with a vision therapy office to find out if it is an option. Good luck! Go to strabismussolutions.com/findvt/ and I can help you find an office.

As vt only works if the defect is detected early. So is this the case with surgery too? As i have had a lazy eye from the past 4 years now and I'm currently 17. So if i get surgery will it be fully effective or am i late? 2) do i need to be above 18 to get the surgery done? 3)As you told me you just got it done so did it hurt?
