I know I just hate when people act like its not a big deal but they don't have it if they did they would not act like it not a big deal.It is annoying as hell when you cant even look into someone in the eye without thinking you are going to scare them away or just look like and outcast That is a basic thing we do all the time when we talk
I feel your pain Joe.. I've had a wandering eye for most of my life.. people just know know the emotional pain we go through on a daily basis.. the feeling of not fitting in. The feeling of just not wanting to face the world. I hope to get this procedure. So pray for me okay bro
I’m getting this surgery tomorrow! My eyes have been my biggest insecurities. I’m afraid of interviews or even presenting to my class for a project because I hate people staring at me. I’ve taught myself to never look anyone in the eyes because I’m just so embarrassed and wouldn’t want to scare them or be judged. I’ve had this surgery when I was 9 before and I’m getting it again at 16. I don’t Remember a lot from that operation but I’m very nervous for tomorrow and can’t wait to not make this an insecurity anymore
I’m only 11 and I’m very insecure about my lazy eye. I want to get surgery but it’s very expensive so I don’t really know if it will ever be fixed. It kills me inside when I’m staring at somebody and they ask me what I’m staring at. Like when I’m looking at a person they ask me “are you looking at me” I just say no because I get so embarrassed. The crazy thing is even little kids notice it. So embarrassing. 💔
@@nyrae_yt8744 Yeah same, my esatropia was always embarrassing to me because I didn’t want my friends to notice plus I would see double things but then I got this surgery a week ago and it was amazing but it will hurt for a few days after the surgery and you may not be able to open them for 2 to 3 days but in the end it’s all so worth it, I can see perfect and there is no eye turn anymore. So if you ever get the opportunity to get this surgery I defiantly would say to get it and if you ever get an opportunity!
I just got this surgery yesterday and it was painless under anesthesia. My vision is crisp and clear now. No more double vision! It feels great to have my vision back! Highly recommend anyone suffering from strabismus to speak to their eye doctor about the possibility of surgery.
I’m so scared. I’m having surgery next Wednesday and I am so freaking scared. I’m only 11 so I don’t know how to feel about it. I’ve had surgery with like my teeth and stuff, but I don’t know how to feel about this because I watched this video which is making me more and more scared. Share your experience.
@@DallanaMejia-Ys7 Don't let the video scare you. In fact dont even think too much into the procedure itself. Leave it up to the surgeon! Im assuming they will put you to sleep throughout the procedure which will make it painless. Just trust in the procedure and i wish you a good outcome! Better vision awaits you!
I need to get this done.. I'm tired of people looking over their shoulder and then wondering is he looking at me.. I'm so tired. This condition is so emotionally painful. Feelings of not wanting to face the world I hope are behind me.. please pray that I can get this procedure done and that it works
Hi, I am the same age as you and just got the surgery done this week. Pain is not bad, maybe a bit sore. Been sleeping a lot b/c of the anesthesia effects though I think. Day 3 tomorrow.
I need this surgery.. I have extropia where my left eye turns outward.. I hate looking at people.. Or taking pictures, unless I have shades on... I low self esteem.. And feel like I'm the only with this problem.. I'm 30 now.. And was never born like this, my eye just turn on its on
I'll be 30 in November and all my life I thought my condition was hereditary because my mom told me so. so I learned to live with it. Then I had my daughter and started noticing it on her. At first it wasnt as much, until it was noticable. I come to find out that this problem can be fixed by my daughters ophthalmologist. She's 7 and is schedule for her surgery on Monday. Kind of wanna do it myself but I have a really high self esteem regardless of my condition. I'm happy the way I am. But my daughter is a child and super sensitive. She tells me that all the kids in school ask her why her eye just wonders off at times. I wont let her go through what I went through.
I had this surgery back in 1989, thinking it would finally allow me to control both eyes. Nope. It simply aligned them. 3-D glasses are still useless.....and I still cannot swing both eyes to the left. I can do everything with my eyes.....individually.....look up/down/left/right. But together? Nope.
I had this surgery 8 days ago and the first day it hurted so much since they had to do it on both of my eyes to line them both up since if they did it on one eye the other eye would’ve been crossed it was so painful and really irritating but I feel so much better now and I’m happy that I did it before so I don’t have to experience that pain again!
I am a 60 years old I had this surgery one week ago in both eyes I was suffering from what is called (wall eye ) specially my right eye they are still red sore painful my advise before anyone decided to do it ask your doctor do some research on why and what's going to be done , and the most important taking care of your eyes after surgery wishing best of luck to anyone going for it..👍 bye
Sup dude! well if you don't mind me telling you..the day of the procedure (for me anyway) I felt quite a bit of irritation. The following day it sort of intensified and i also got an itchy sensation. However, after the first week or so everything started subsiding
I'm getting a strabismus surgery in January...I still didn't want h the video....and I'm not sure if I should....but I'mma watch it.. I watched it.....and bly oh boy am I scared...
I’ve had this condition as long as I can remember and I am 63 my eye doctor told me this would not work for me but I started going The Illinois eye Institute and the doctors told me there did the surgery would work for me but now I have other medical issues that have prevent me from having the surgery twice I love to read this is the only reason that I want to try this again
@254Wacolion THATS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL BRO! i've always had low self esteem due to my lazy eye and when i talk to others I developed a habit of always looking down....then people always assume that im mentally challenged or something..it gets on my nerves but yea im hoping i get my surgery soon..
Can anybody here tell me about a doctor who can do this in one of my eyes? I'm 45 but I'm still concern about this lazy eye. some people tell me its no noticeable but I fell like I have to do it... So, Someone in the LA area?
People tell me the same thing that iit is not that noticeable.. and it's so frustrating when they tell me that. I noticed that my eye wanders more when I get tired later on in the day. I feel your pain God bless you
i have strabismis when i was in fifth year cause i had accident,but i'm in 21 year and in last year i want to doctor and he told me if your eye back to natural place you will see two things so what can i do in this situation?
You need to get a second opinion. I had a similar situation and just had surgery a few days ago,.they are straight and working together again. I'm in some pain still because I had to have 3 muscles done but it's not to bad. The worst part is my eyes look so red I look possessed lol. That will do away in a week or 2 💜💜
I really want to get this surgery, but I can't cause we can't get insurance and we don't have enough to pay for it ourselves. :( It's frustrating being born with Strabismus, I always feel like I'm hiding when I talk to someone. My confidence is low because of it, so I always spend my days at home cause I'm too embarrassed of my eye.
I have a lazy eye....the only things stopping me from getting it is not having health insurance....I have vision insurance though...but pretty sure I need health insurance....and I don't wanna take off work...I work at a convenient store...so I need to work and need my eyes.
If you are reading this and worried to go to the doctors /hospital it really is not that bad. I am 35 and have suffered with this condition for 20 years. I started by getting a referral to the hospital in October from my optician. I visited the royal berks in reading (uk) for 3 separate appointments.. Today i had my final eye measurements taken,blood pressure,bmi and blood sample which was quick and painless. My operation is booked in for 10 days time at the royal berkshire. I decided to get surgery because it was effecting my confidence. Don't be worried what hospital staff will think of your condition they are lovely people.
@@sabamaryum1200 So I had my operation on the 5th of march. The op went really well and the surgeon was pleased with results. One thing I was not prepared for was how confused I felt for a couple of days after the op. The eye was very red and felt scratchy for a good three weeks. The eye's were lined up perfectly for the first two weeks but has drifted slightly out again but it's much better than it was before and I am happy with it. My consultants name was martin leyland I would recommend him to anyone.
I am scheduled for my appointment in June an Im scared to death of the unknown I am thirty one an I lived my whole life like this. Question is this painful?
U will be fine..not painful at all even after surgery it just is red and a little sore and irritating but that's about it. the hardest part is waiting to see wat the outcome is gn be..i just had surgery Monday
