Some people don't realize how annoying having Strabismus can be. I was born with it, and all my life it's been holding me back in a lot of things. People keep telling me to ignore everyone else and just be happy, but it's just not that easy.

I had this surgery 2 days ago and today I see perfectly. No black eye either. I am thrilled with the results. No pain either.

So u had no control of neither eyes nd both go out? Mine take turns. Like da one I use stays normal nd floats to the left:( how come u waited so long?

[Erick39Mia]

@Sarcastic17one My eyes initially alternated. They took turns. Sounds crazy, but there is no other way to describe it. Your brain tries to disregard the image from the weaker eye causing it to turn out. In my case, my brain basically told my eyes to behave this way so that the vision in the bad eye doesnt affect the vision in the good one.

How much was the surgery?

[bootydo718]

Are you blind in ur right eye?

[Erick39Mia]

@bootydo718 Yes. I do have some vision in it, but not enough to be considered good.

[bootydo718]

@Erick39Mia I also have the same issue, was scared that since i have very little vision in my right eye, would the surgery even work.

[Erick39Mia]

It depends on the surgeon. But immediately after the surgery, I saw a perfect alignment. Results can vary though. The only problem is that in some cases, it can become misaligned again. What happens is that the eye muscle is moved. Your brain has not been changed; therefore, unless BOTH eyes work well together, your brain may try to send it back to the way it was. In simple terminology.

and how long the surgery will take? 1 hour,two...... or will be less then haf an hour?

[Erick39Mia]

Your English is fine. The surgery is over before you know it. You really dont feel any pain at all during the surgery. But be prepared after because there can be some discomfort. You will be very happy. Trust me.

[XDIVISION1000]

@Erick39Mia and immediately after the surgery,my eyes will be normal? or I have to wait some time? and can i do the surgery at both eyes the same time?

[XDIVISION1000]

I have strabismus exact like you ,only i'm 17 and i have to do the surgery in a mounth or two and is .....scary for me because.....i will not now how will be at the surgery....

I Hope you are okay  ......sorry about my english....I'm a romanian :D

[Erick39Mia]

If I understand your question, you are asking if you can have a drivers license. In my case, vision in my right eye is 20/400 and my left eye is 20/30. In Florida, if you are blind in one eye, the better eye must be 20/40 or better. The surgery really didnt bother my vision.

[XDIVISION1000]

@Erick39Mia thanks man

[XDIVISION1000]

can you take your driving licence whe you have strabismus?

[RadicaLlLeveL]

I had a surgery when i was 6 years old (strabismus too) But it didnt make such a big difference, Is it possible to have another one?
