hi can ask u how long u waited after ur first surgery to have the second surgery done?

[NHNREMTB]

@loveunaj My surgeon only made me wait like 3 weeks. But my eye had turned in really bad. I couldn't open it or I'd fall on my face.

[Bcroft39]

I had this surgery on the 29th of Sept. in Dothan Al. by Dr. Ludwig. She worked on both of my eyes. I could only focus with one eye at the time before the surgery. I could choose which eye I wanted to look with and the other eye would turn outward. Dr. Ludwig told me that if I see double after the surgery it means that the brain is trying to focus with both eyes. Well i'm seeing double for sure. I thought for the longest time that everyone could only focus with one eye at a time. LOL

[NHNREMTB]

@Bcroft39 --- I am no longer seeing double. When I am tired they tend to be a little off but hey, Ill take it. They still look 120x better than they did before the surgeries.

I also believed for the longest time pre-op that everyone only saw out of one eye at a time. I have no 3D vision. I can't see the butterfly book at the eye doctors. I have never experienced what most see at 3D theaters. But maybe someday, I will - as I hope you do, if you can't already.

[Bcroft39]

@NHNREMTB No I have no 3D vision either. I'm having to get use to my glasses and can't hardly wait until I can wear contacts again. I'm hopeful about seeing 3D one day but if I don't atleast my eyes are straight. My eyes are BLOOD red right now and I tell everyone that yes I may look like a monster but atleast I don't look like a cock eyed monster. LOL. I'm so thrilled about this. I've wanted to have the surgery for YEARS now but have only recently had the funds to have it.

[NHNREMTB]

@Bcroft39 I hope your feeling great & don't worry you'll adjust to the glasses. Can you REALLY imagine trying to put the contacts in right now? Think they're red now ... imagine with contacts.. LOL. Especially if bifocals. Zoomed in demon eyes! I actually walked around with a magnifying glass to freak people out. I can hardly wait to wear contacts again but I'm not rushing it. I have the same excitement though, definitely relating. My family must be sick of me saying LOOK 20+ times per day.

Hi , I went to the orthoptic clinic yesterday because my optician was concerned about my eyesight getting worse over the space of a year before i only had my left eye squint problem but now its both eyes . I was rushed through to a consultant and he said i was being put through as an urgent case to have both my eyes straightened . I just wanted to know if you/ anyone had bruising after surgery ? Ive been told that there will be some pain almost like having an infection

wow, I want to thank you for your videos about your eye disorder. I've found it interesting to research it since I never even knew about it.

My youngest sister appears to have this in one of her eyes. It turns in so far sometimes that the outer edge of her iris disappears behind the corner of her eye. I am glad it's not life-threatening. She has to wear extremely strong glasses but she still tends to walk into walls a few times a week as she can't see them well.

@NHNREMTB - To NHNREMTB & Bcroft39,

I had both of my "wandering" eyes aligned 34 hours ago. I have the double vision now. Could one or both of you give me an idea on how long the double vision lasts? It's really annoying; I'm bumping into things, and I'm always missing the trash can when I go to throw something out. (Unless I'm practically on top of it, or I keep one eye closed)

I was never able to see 3D, so I guess I won't be missing anything. =)

Thanks a bunch!

Denise
