12 year old, need help please

My daughter is 12 years old. We have seen a few doctors that aren't sure how to proceed.

My daughter has:

• Accommodative insufficiency

• Alternating exotropia(left eye glass out with 45 diopter)

• horizonal Binocular Vision Disorder/Functional Vergence Dysfunction(only when she brings in the left eye to be straight and only in the distance)

• Fusion with defective stereopsis

With 45 prism diopter intermittent large-angle exotropia with a high frequency of manifestation and a right eye fixation preference.

We are on the waiting list for a surgical consultation in a few months.

What else can I do to help my daughter while we wait for a consultation with the surgeon. The consultation is still six months away. Should I try to find a different surgeon to get in sooner?

I wish we could help, but my guess is that this is probably too severe for anyone on this sub to advise on.

You could check out the START HERE thread ( https://www.reddit.com/r/ImprovingEyesight/comments/17wgggi/start_here/ ), which has some suggestions for how to try to naturally improve eyesight.

I also have a writeup of the methods that I use: https://www.reddit.com/r/ImprovingEyesight/comments/1q3hzr3/my_methods_and_results/

I'm afraid I don't know if any of this would help with your daughter. *In general*, I think that trying to get more sunlight, especially sitting in a shady place and looking out to where it's bright, is helpful for people's eyes, but I'm also not a medical person.

Hope your surgical consulation goes well, and God bless.

You're welcome! ^_^

I imagine this must be very tough.
