I haven't done the surgery, but I really wanna try it so bad!. This condition affects my self esteem. I hate when some one takes me a picture, even I can not look at people to their eyes. 😢
I am in the same boat. I've had this condition since childhood. Had surgery in 2006 but unfortunately didn't last 3yrs. Its causing me low self esteem, depression. I need help.
@@Strale1989 I'm the same too. I'm getting surgery done in a couple of weeks time. Hoping that I'll be able to look at people straight in the face while speaking to them afterwards. I do wonder though, if I'll be able to break the habit?
I’ve had strabismus my whole entire life and I just had the surgery on Thursday August 17th, 2023 on the right eye. My eye is swollen and it doesn’t look as straight as the other eye, but it’s definitely better than what I started. As many others have said this condition drains your self confidence and I am so happy to have it done. I am resting and healing everyday.

I finally got my first surgery on my right eye 6 months ago. I just had my surgery on my left eye 2 days ago. I had strabismus since I was a child and got teased throughout my school years. I wouldn’t look anyone in the eyes because I was ashamed of how my eyes looked.I hated taking pictures! I hated talking to someone and they turn around because they aren’t sure if I was talking to them!😢😢I use to be able to control my eyes long enough to take a picture but as I got older I could no longer control it and it got worse 😢My self esteem was so low and I didn’t feel beautiful. I’m glad I was finally able to get the surgery because it has done wonders to my esteem❤❤
I had this surgery in 1985 and it changed my life. There were no more massive headaches for weeks on end, and I could read again(which was good because I was in school). At this age now my left eye wanders when I'm tired or over worked, and my right eye is fine.
I thought It was just my right eye that wandered but since I got the surgery on my right eye 6 months ago, The left eye was wandering. I just had surgery on my left eye 2 days ago
I am going to try to have this surgery in the next two years. I have talked to a few people, most insurances in the US are supposed to pay for it, they will fight it. So push for it and they should be paying for it. Everyone I talked to say the surgery helps your vision. Double vision should go away and it should get easier to focus. Your peripheral vision should get better.
I'm 68! Developed double vision in the last year. It's probably the worst thing that has ever happened to me and Trust me, at 68 I've had a few traumas in my life. My prism glasses are hideous and I just want the surgery. Double vision affects everything. I can't look at people anymore, I won't look at people anymore. And I used to be so outgoing and friendly. Now I just keep my head down or keep my sunglasses on. Also have PES and am very nearsighted. Will be finding somebody in Boston. Wish me luck!
i had strabismus surgery when i was 9 and ive been living with double vision ever since. ive had double vision for 9 years and my eyes have never worked together
10/18/23 I just had my surgery on the right eye, had an unfortunate accident as a child at age 7 when a chandelier fell and hit me in it, always had that problem because they didn’t have everything the doctors do now to correct it. Well this is day 3 and my eye is slowly opening up, still have the redness but it does look different, before the surgery my right eye would wonder and sometimes I had to reposition myself for photos sometimes my eyes would do right but most times won’t . From what I see now I can tell the vision part is better for some reason but I see a size difference but was told give it Atleast 3months to align with the other eye . I’m so nervous because I had low self esteem awhile ago but have gotten comfortable with my eyes now I had took the gamble by choice you always wonder have you done the right thing . God to glory I claim I made the right choice and things will get better for me and appearance
I had this surgery 3.9.20 on both eyes and woke up with perfect vision after 17 months of double vision. LOVE the result and my ophthalmologist, Dr. Paras Shah, at Glenbrook Hospital.
@@shivanimahida5544 For my mother, Mary Miller, who is experiencing technical difficulties...Caused by a carotid cavernous fistula growing behind eye sockets. During neurovascular surgery (26 coils to stop bleeding) a hematoma added even more pressure to 6th nerve.
UPDATE from Mary Miller: Immediately after posting in March, eyes started fluctuating between double vision and perfect. Today is five weeks exactly since surgery, and I believe they are settling out around 5 prism, which is substantially better than 23 prism prior to surgery.
@Matt Man You will be happy with the outcome Matt. Now that it has been over two years since my surgery, I can tell you without a doubt that having the surgery was the right thing to do. I still have prisms in my glasses, but they are only a 3. People tell me all the time how my eyes look completely normal now and they remember how they never looked right before the surgery. It takes about 3 to 5 months before you know where they really settle out. Good luck.
What are the known statistics on long term effects of strabismus surgery? Do side effects become more severe over time due to trauma, does the alignment last? If it's not forever, how long would it take for the eye to become misaligned again, especially in a bling eye?
I have my 65yo mom who daily uses her phone up close (4-5 inches away from eyes). She regularly needs to switch between her long sighted/short sighted lenses but usually doesn’t switch and simply removes her specs when she uses her phone, hence the need to hold it so close. Would you say this will cause/deteriorate her lazy eye? She is soon planned for a surgery to address this. But it just makes logical sense to me that the close up phone use habit absolutely doesn’t help the situation and would make it worse.
I doubt that the cause of uncleared vision after the surgery is it's because of the anesthesia effect that was applied. I'm wondering why the doctors didn't explain these things.
Had my left eye done when I was 4. It was ok, but one night at dinner right after the procedure, I felt like my left eye was lit on fire. I don’t think it lasted terribly long, but it stayed with me. This was in 1967. So they may have even popped the eye out to shorten the muscle. Who knows.
I had mine done at age 19. Didn't remain straight after 3yrs and now I'm soon to be 33. When I tell you it's a confidence killer for me i mean it. I want to do the surgery again because i know after 10+ years the procedure has to have improved significantly
I am going to have it done September 26th and it had affect me for so many years and my parents never even thought about even trying to fix it so I mean my adult prime 62 and I'm going to get it done
I’ve been getting lazy eye for the past month an the last few days it’s been getting really bad before I noticed with my affected eye at night time in my house when I tried to see in the dark everything with that eye was darker than my other eye for a year I’ve had blurred vision before what can it be anyone can help ?

My eyes were always aligned perfectly until I recently had a floaters only vitrectomy and a natural lens replacement in my right eye.. fortunately my sight is still fine when I'm looking straight ahead but now the image doubles when I look around. I get a slight double image when I look up or to the left but when I look down or to the right it's 2 markedly separate images. Is this also strabismus and could I benefit from an eye muscle operation?
Hello I have a question. My doctor wants to opperate on my opposite eye. Why would a doctor want to do that? Im really confused. I have a left eye that turns inward and my right eye is centered. I dont think I will go through with it because it doesnt make sense to me. Is there a reason why?
Hi. I had the surgery.. when they work on the opposite eye the eye that is not centered will become centered. I didn’t understand how that will work either but it did..your dr will explain it to you
I had this surgery in 2014 at the age of 22.The redness in eyes remained for 1 year.The eyes are almost 95 percent aligned now. I dont use one eye after an accident in childhood which caused strabismus.
I have the same story, I don't use one eye after an accident in my childhood wich caused strabismus. I have been convincing my self not to try the surgery thinking that my case is different and it can't go away since I don't use one of my eyes. Please let me know if I should go for a surgery. Thank you.
I am 36 years old and I am considering getting this surgery...I have had a lazy eye my whole life...and I have been bullied and it killed my self confidence...I hope to get this and feel better about myself. I do need to work though...so taking off is not an option...I work at a convenient store.
I’ve had a lazy eye all my life I’m 20 years old now and it ruined my childhood all the way through high school. It literally just made me become distant and avoid people or any interaction.
I felt so nauseous after the surgery. Anyway, I had surgery on December 28th it is now Feb 3rd. The pink in my eye are now almost completely gone. About week 4, i rubbed my eyes(DONT RUB) oh my god. I got rashes on the corner and bottom of my eye, that was my fault. Luckily nothing ruined the eye itself. My eye lids also shut close by morning, also not a good idea to pick off the eye crust... bad. regret. Seriously thought I gave myself an infection. Another youtuber told me they had the same problem so if you are going through that, don’t stress too much. It gradually got better, i see single now, unless in within 4 feet I see double but focusing on the object will join it as one. Hope this answered a question or two. Very accurate video

I had a surgery years ago. Now my eyes are really crossing. I was told that if I had surgery to correct the crossing, they would adjust the good eye to match up with the weak muscled one. Is this the way it is done.?
I'm surprised blindness wasn't a risk. But also glad. So many people, including my parents don't want me to get surgery because apparently I'll have a high risk of going blind
My problem is double vision that usually shows up mainly later in the day. My doc says that my right eye focuses images higher than the left eye due to muscle weakness. To look at me, you would not see any difference in the alignment of my eyes. On days when i use only my glasses [ prescription] i have less of a problem. Most days I also wear multifocal contacts then switch to my glasses in the evening while watching tv. By then, I’m nearly always having the double vision problem. I find myself closing one eye to see normally. My eye surgeon [ i was referred to by my regular eye doc] says muscle surgery should correct this. Please let me know if anyone reading this has this same problem. Also would like to hear results of your eye muscle surgery 😊 thanks.
Hello Nancy, I too have the same problem as you. Always double vision at the end of the day. My contact lenses make it worse so stopped wearing them so much. I find my glasses are more reliable. I stopped driving a few years ago just in case the double vision kicked in. I see a strabimus consultant once a year at Moorfields and she believes surgery would be best. I have resisted the surgery but I know I must make a decision soon. I seem to get more episodes of d.b during the day from time to time, so perhaps I should have thes surgery?
Left eye looks beyond perfect in relation to my right eye .. basically my right eye has a different shape and at some times it does not points at the same direction as my left eye .. it looks terrible in photos , I just wanna get it done right just as my left eye

I have really blurred vision in my lazy eye it's like very low vision which can't be treated by any glasses or lenses can my vision be regained after getting this surgery done?..
I was cured by Dr WINA on TH-cam within 14 of taking his herbal medicine my 8yr lost sight was regained.link:th-cam.com/channels/LdMmK0VN_tquimOG-9t7Dw.html.
This makes it sound like stabismus surgery for adults can help with binocular vision, but I thought that this kind of surgery for adults was purely cosmetic (ie. it makes the eyes appear to be aligned even when they're actually not).
3 years late but I’m due corrective surgery in the morning so wth, the restoration of binocular vision depends completely on the specific patients and their personal requirements. I’m having my eyes slightly over corrected so they still won’t look fully 100% symmetrical however this leaves me a strong chance of near sight binocular returning and a fair chance of long sighted returning, if I had the eyes put completely symmetrical then I would have no chance of binocular returning as the eyes still wouldn’t be focused on the exact same point, then there are some people who’s brain has blanked the drifted eye so strongly it will never be able to use binocular again no matter how well aligned focus is.
Am 25yrs and my left eye started last year to squint,i was born fine with eyes good but last year it changed what could be the cause and please can surgery work for me??? Reply please thank you

I could not have gone back to work after a week and I know people have but they wasn’t my reality .. after two weeks I could have but 3 weeks and I felt back to my old self again .. keep asking any questions I don’t mind answering
@@demarcusmccullum1581 I feel you on that. For 17 years I've never let anyone see me without my glasses cause of my cross eyes. I had the surgery today so hopefully I can learn to be happy with myself.
@Gabriel Deoliveira yes just my right eye. Feel free to ask any questions:) The corner of eye is more pink now but it's getting better. I think the worst of it for me was that I have a history of migraines and as my brain adjusted, my migraines came on. The migraines settled after 2wks.
@Gabriel Deoliveira Definitely understandable why you want to wait!:) I didn't even know I could have the surgery until now and I'm 30. It took about 2 weeks for the migraines to stop and 4 weeks before I felt like my old self again.
The doctor I went to said that, it probably wouldn't really work at my age ( I was 53 years old at the time, last year) but they could do it for cosmetic reason but I could end up probably with double vision or somethng like that) I might just have to deal with this

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.
How do you know it's not both a muscle problem and a brain problem? If it were only a brain problem, then why would anyone need maintenance VT once they are taught to use their eyes together? You don't forget how to walk or ride a bike.
@@naomigreenwald3009 Some people need maintenance VT because the person has the tendency to go back to the original adaptation. Therapy done well and thoroughly does not need maintenance. There is not a single study showing that the eye muscles are weak. In fact, the opposite is true. They are the most innervated, accurate, and strongest muscles (per muscle unit) in the human body.

I have a left eye that turns inward and my right eye is centered. I dont think I will go through with it because it doesnt make sense to me. Is there a reason why?
Hi. I had the surgery.. when they work on the opposite eye the eye that is not centered will become centered. I didn’t understand how that will work either but it did..your dr will explain it to you
Had this 28 /29 years ago and now at almost 34 i need help again
Is Eye surgery maybe be successful
I had this surgery in 2014 at the age of 22.The redness in eyes remained for 1 year.The eyes are almost 95 percent aligned now.
I dont use one eye after an accident in childhood which caused strabismus.
How ur feeling now I mean is the surgery really helpful?
@@mohammedfaheem7432 Yes this is helpful.You should go for it
I have the same story, I don't use one eye after an accident in my childhood wich caused strabismus. I have been convincing my self not to try the surgery thinking that my case is different and it can't go away since I don't use one of my eyes. Please let me know if I should go for a surgery. Thank you.
I am about to have the surgery - Monday June 06.......
I'm having this surgery on Monday, I'm just glad I won't look cross-eyed any more 😂
Hopefully my vision will be a bit better x
Sarah Moulder
please how far with ur surgery hope ur eye are not cross again after the surgery
How was your surgery? I’ll be having mine on Tuesday.
@@yasminsaavedra5796 how it went
WarPaint 47 hello! I’m looking to get this surgery, where and what doctor did you get it from? I want to call to see if I can make appointment
Just over a year and my eye is perfect, just like everyone else x
I am 36 years old and I am considering getting this surgery...I have had a lazy eye my whole life...and I have been bullied and it killed my self confidence...I hope to get this and feel better about myself. I do need to work though...so taking off is not an option...I work at a convenient store.
I’ve had a lazy eye all my life I’m 20 years old now and it ruined my childhood all the way through high school. It literally just made me become distant and avoid people or any interaction.
Ophthamologists don't understand that .
I just had this surgery and want to know if anyone can tell me what I can do to help the itching and scratchy of my eyes please any ideas ?
Tasha stirling try eyedrops for itchiness.
I felt so nauseous after the surgery. Anyway, I had surgery on December 28th it is now Feb 3rd. The pink in my eye are now almost completely gone. About week 4, i rubbed my eyes(DONT RUB) oh my god. I got rashes on the corner and bottom of my eye, that was my fault. Luckily nothing ruined the eye itself. My eye lids also shut close by morning, also not a good idea to pick off the eye crust... bad. regret. Seriously thought I gave myself an infection. Another youtuber told me they had the same problem so if you are going through that, don’t stress too much. It gradually got better, i see single now, unless in within 4 feet I see double but focusing on the object will join it as one. Hope this answered a question or two. Very accurate video
Donbu Ho where did you get your surgery done
person that have sensory exotropia from childhood,can fix it from surgery ?

Great video and explanation
What did he say about shit instead of surgery. I don’t understand
I can't see crearly with my extra turn eye though can I have that surgery
This problem is also related to me
Please suggest me
My real age is about 35
I need the surgery, how can I locate you.pls reply
I don’t have double vision it’s singular
I have done with a lazy eye surgery but I have difference between them what should i.do
Still the same?
I had a surgery years ago. Now my eyes are really crossing. I was told that if I had surgery to correct the crossing, they would adjust the good eye to match up with the weak muscled one. Is this the way it is done.?
Both eyes should be done at the same time. Getting the surgery done this month at DOHENY Eye Center in West LA.
I'm surprised blindness wasn't a risk. But also glad. So many people, including my parents don't want me to get surgery because apparently I'll have a high risk of going blind
Did you get it, how'd it go? I'm going in a month 😬
My problem is double vision that usually shows up mainly later in the day. My doc says that my right eye focuses images higher than the left eye due to muscle weakness. To look at me, you would not see any difference in the alignment of my eyes. On days when i use only my glasses [ prescription] i have less of a problem. Most days I also wear multifocal contacts then switch to my glasses in the evening while watching tv. By then, I’m nearly always having the double vision problem. I find myself closing one eye to see normally. My eye surgeon [ i was referred to by my regular eye doc] says muscle surgery should correct this. Please let me know if anyone reading this has this same problem. Also would like to hear results of your eye muscle surgery 😊 thanks.
Hello Nancy, I too have the same problem as you. Always double vision at the end of the day. My contact lenses make it worse so stopped wearing them so much. I find my glasses are more reliable. I stopped driving a few years ago just in case the double vision kicked in. I see a strabimus consultant once a year at Moorfields and she believes surgery would be best. I have resisted the surgery but I know I must make a decision soon. I seem to get more episodes of d.b during the day from time to time, so perhaps I should have thes surgery?
I was hit by a car 3 years ago on November 16th I don’t like how when I look at somebody my eye wonders
Left eye looks beyond perfect in relation to my right eye .. basically my right eye has a different shape and at some times it does not points at the same direction as my left eye .. it looks terrible in photos , I just wanna get it done right just as my left eye

@@ThomasEyeGroupPC Hi. My name is Damien from the UK. Can I still have Strabismus surgery on my left eye, eventhough I am blind in my left eye?
@@ThomasEyeGroupPC i want that surgery also but we cant afford,,a thought it was so expensive..watching ur video.from phillipines
I have been convincing my self not to try the surgery thinking that my case is different and it can't go away since I don't use one of my eyes. Please let me know if I should go for a surgery. Thank you.
I don't use one eye after an accident in my childhood wich caused strabismus.
I can move my eyes in any direction together but when do it with single eye I got strabismus should I do the surgery procedure
Mustafa Hasan Brother go to a good Doctor first
You can move just one eye???
Nice video.
Does anyone know the price or cost of this? Would love to know
Most insurance covers it!
3rd times a charm for me. I have had straight eyes for 2 years now.
Hey Kim, sorry if this is a year late but I want to get a third op. Were your surgeons not concerned about the scar tissue from your first 2 ops?
I have really blurred vision in my lazy eye it's like very low vision which can't be treated by any glasses or lenses can my vision be regained after getting this surgery done?..
I was cured by Dr WINA on TH-cam within 14 of taking his herbal medicine my 8yr lost sight was regained.link:th-cam.com/channels/LdMmK0VN_tquimOG-9t7Dw.html.
You need no surgery herbal medicine is the best, the pharmaceutical companies will tell us here that there is no cure.
Can surgery on only one eye correct intermittent exotropia?
Nope
Can one die from this surgery due to vascular ocular reflex???
This makes it sound like stabismus surgery for adults can help with binocular vision, but I thought that this kind of surgery for adults was purely cosmetic (ie. it makes the eyes appear to be aligned even when they're actually not).
3 years late but I’m due corrective surgery in the morning so wth, the restoration of binocular vision depends completely on the specific patients and their personal requirements. I’m having my eyes slightly over corrected so they still won’t look fully 100% symmetrical however this leaves me a strong chance of near sight binocular returning and a fair chance of long sighted returning, if I had the eyes put completely symmetrical then I would have no chance of binocular returning as the eyes still wouldn’t be focused on the exact same point, then there are some people who’s brain has blanked the drifted eye so strongly it will never be able to use binocular again no matter how well aligned focus is.
It isn't cosmetic. Life can be debilitating when you see double constantly. Ever try to drive when you see a ghost image of everything?
That makes no sense? If your eyes appear properly aligned then they are properly aligned?
NOT cosmetic!
Am 25yrs and my left eye started last year to squint,i was born fine with eyes good but last year it changed what could be the cause and please can surgery work for me??? Reply please thank you
I had surgery when I was 22 and I'm extremely happy with my results

@@demarcusmccullum1581 i born like that too did u get surgey if u didi pls tell me how was it bc i want do it too
Just had my surgery and it went really well!
@Gabriel Deoliveira yes just my right eye. Feel free to ask any questions:) The corner of eye is more pink now but it's getting better. I think the worst of it for me was that I have a history of migraines and as my brain adjusted, my migraines came on. The migraines settled after 2wks.
@Gabriel Deoliveira Definitely understandable why you want to wait!:) I didn't even know I could have the surgery until now and I'm 30. It took about 2 weeks for the migraines to stop and 4 weeks before I felt like my old self again.
How is it now buddy...is everything fine now?

Please can someone tell me. One day i we get my normal self,, cuz this my lazy eyes really driving me crazy
Kelly Owen Yes but you can get normal eyes by surgery but if your vision has gone then it is impossible to make vision in your eyes.
Vikram Singh thanks alot, but I'm 25 can the surgery be done
Cuz i can do anything important to my self..
Kelly Owen It can be done at any age.
I have lazy eye as well.
Does anyone know approximately how much this surgery is?
I worked with a girl with severe strabismus so I was curious about the treatment
1500 usd per eye in most places.
I have to get this surgery, im 22 and terrified! Are you asleep durring the whole thing?
You need no surgery as me how
Can someone donate for me.i want surgery
Had wasn't bad at all do far so good glad I did it have no fear it wasn't bad
I need it. How much money i have to pay for this surgery?
@Rxbin Official it’s free in the U.K.? They wouldn’t do it for me lol
The doctor I went to said that, it probably wouldn't really work at my age ( I was 53 years old at the time, last year) but they could do it for cosmetic reason but I could end up probably with double vision or somethng like that) I might just have to deal with this

having this surgery on march 17th
How did it go I have this surgery in July
Hi how did it go
Plz reply me first
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.
How do you know it's not both a muscle problem and a brain problem? If it were only a brain problem, then why would anyone need maintenance VT once they are taught to use their eyes together? You don't forget how to walk or ride a bike.
@@naomigreenwald3009 Some people need maintenance VT because the person has the tendency to go back to the original adaptation. Therapy done well and thoroughly does not need maintenance. There is not a single study showing that the eye muscles are weak. In fact, the opposite is true. They are the most innervated, accurate, and strongest muscles (per muscle unit) in the human body.
