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 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. 😢

My surgery is booked for next month!! Wish me luck ❤️

I haven't done the surgery. But I am trusting God that He will help me with my eyes. "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." -TheBible🌹

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 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'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!

my surgery is successful. I am very happy. thanks for nepal eye hospital

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.

Thanks Sir very helpful video I really appreciate it for watching this video.

Just had this surgery done a week ago. So far my double vision no longer is

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 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.

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?

When I was little I had 2 of these surgery it fixed my right right eye but my left eye is still all over the place

Thanks Himalayan eye hosptaal nepal for succesful treatment

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?

I am in 52 years ,with glaucoma and Stabismus eye , can someone help me for surgery

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 happen to be one of the unlucky few that had this surgery as a child and now, 20 years later, I will have to get it redone and that scares me.

thank you for this video i never knew what was wrong with my eye it was not drifting out when i was under 12 i have been teased all of my teen life and it has messed up my self esteem as an adult im seriously thinking about doing it im scared though just because its your eyes. this video put me at ease

What is the effect after surgery

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?

I had this surgery but did not work fully

Can eye muscles be relengthened after being shortened ?

Doc I have istrabismus What exercises I do to improve

Does it leave a scar

How soon do you start to see results after strabismus surgery?

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.

What about torsional strabismus?

person that have sensory exotropia from childhood,can fix it from surgery ?

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

Just had the surgery at DOHENY Eye Center in West LA, so far the surgery was a success. No double vision.

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 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 ?

What if one's strabismus eye goes up instead inward or outward?

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

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

I need the surgery, how can I locate you.pls reply

Great video and explanation

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 can't see crearly with my extra turn eye though can I have that surgery

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 had it done when I was 15, I’m 30 now and starting to feel it coming back. 😫

Does anyone know the price or cost of this? Would love to know

Same with me , really wish after surgery my squint will go off , frustrated with always wearing glasses..

I'm getting mine done next week I'm going today to dilate my eyes in preparation for the surgery

I have done with a lazy eye surgery but I have difference between them what should i.do

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

Nice video.

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 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 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 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.

Just had my surgery and it went really well!

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

Had this 28 /29 years ago and now at almost 34 i need help again

Is Eye surgery maybe be successful

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).

This is a great video I have watched tons .. I am getting my surgery on October 28 2019 and I am so excited but nervous I have to get both eyes done as I have alternating exotropia. If anyone has had this let me know in the comments

Thank you for this video it has helped me explain to family & friends

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

3rd times a charm for me. I have had straight eyes for 2 years now.

Can surgery on only one eye correct intermittent exotropia?

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.

I have to have this surgery on October 4th

I am about to have the surgery - Monday June 06.......

Can one die from this surgery due to vascular ocular reflex???

Had mine done - in OR- most painless surgery ever had. No bandage nothing

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

This isn’t considered cosmetic, is it?

Does your eye see thing during the surgery? Is it all blurry? Surgery scares me. What if you have small eyes?

I don’t have double vision it’s singular

Do it hurt ?

Can strabismus surgery do for 21 year old boy

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

Had I had a stroke now I will prisms in my glassestheyqorkgreathelpswithdethperseptionninorewals4me😎😁

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.

Plz reply me first
