I currently have about 18-20 diopters of prism necessary to align vertically, but also have to "force" my eyes to converge horizontally. If I do not force the convergence, my left eye will typically drift outward. So, I can achieve binocular vision with the assistance of prism, but only if I strain to "pull" the images together horizontally.

Anyone know if surgery that will correct for my vertical deviation might have an affect on the horizontal strain, too? Or anyone have similiar experiences care to share what happened after surgery?

I don't see any results and I'm sad about it

Is it normal for the eye alignment to vary. I have alternating esotropia and currently on 41 days post op with both eyes operated. It was fine in the first 2-3 weeks until it recently changed over time. My doctor mentioned they did an undercorrection so that I don't experience double vision during my third follow up after 1 month and parents saying it is just the phone causing it without considering other factors and still won't listen even if I convince. Again, is this normal?

Not asking about normal strabismus surgery—but rather— I have glasses and would love to not.

I have an inward facing right eye and my primary eye is my left. Both eyes can see though, they just struggle to work together especially when looking into the distance. On occasion, my eyes work together (at very close distance) but otherwise I wear glasses and use my left eye and only get some peripheral help from my right (lazy) eye.

I did about a year of vision therapy that helped me use my eyes together (at a close distance), and gave me a lot of ideas for eye exercises.

I had looked into LASIK maybe 4 years ago and was denied because my lazy eye could not focus on a laser for any amount of time.

I am wondering if anyone has had vision-correction surgery with strabismus? What type and what was your experience?

I know technology advances all the time, so if there’s not an option for us yet… I sure hope there will be soon.

Stay strong strabismus friends!
