What is Strabismus Surgery? 

I had strabismus in my left eye since I was little and left untreated due to financial problem and lack of resources, and now I'm 22, it bothers me because I can't even have an eye to eye contact with other people and can't properly socialize because of bullying. watching this video gives me hope that one day my eye will be corrected.

I've had this surgery - I slept a lot in the first few days because its just too annoying or painful to keep your eyes open. It basically felt like I had largr grains of sand in my eyes constantly. After the initial few days I started opening and using my eyes more and things soon went back to normal. It greatly reduced my chronic migraines which I had derived from my eyes constantly slouching out of position. Don't be afraid, it'll all be fine. ♡

I had a strabismus in my right eye since I was a child and I am 25 now. All my life I thought there is no cure and I have to live with it for the rest of my life. But just recently I discovered that it can be fix. I didn’t think twice the next day I did the surgery and now here I am 11 days after the surgery never been better. My eyes are perfectly aligned and so happy with the results 😊

I had this surgery in 1984 aged 3. Spent 2 weeks after in children’s ward, being pampered, then glasses until age 12. I started to require glasses again at 28 and now , 40, even with glasses I have a tendency to close one eye, and will be having further surgery soon. But the surgery then definitely did an excellent job and changed my prospects and I’m thankful. And that was decades ago!!! Modern surgery isn’t even a worry. All the best to those with kids who need this. Don’t worry! xxx

damn this hits different when your the person who has experienced this

My surgery is in July. I'm so excited. I'm tired of cruel people bullying me because of my eyes. Some people like it and think it's cute but I feel once I started to get uncomfortable and not confident and it's started to cause issues with my daily activities that's when I decided to do something about it. May God be with us all who have this issue and are or would like to get it corrected. Our confidence will rise for us personally. 🙏🏾 I wasn't born with it so Doc said you can wake up one day and your brain can just decide it doesn't want to support your eye muscles anymore and that will suddenly happen. I can also happen through traumatic situations or even an injury to the head or something. People are so cruel, they don't know how this stuff can happen to them tomorrow. Stay strong, we are definitely favored and beautiful ❤

I had this surgery 1969 at Lackland Air Force Basr San Antonio TX. I was born that way. I need it again now 2021

I had to have this surgery as a kid. I left the hospital with “goop” all over my eyes, I think it was Vaseline to keep everything moist, and I had my eyes shut for a day or two. I opened my eyes gradually and I was normal after a few days. I even got a shirt from my hospital ❤️

I was born cross-eyed and have had a total of 3 surgeries done. I'm 15 now and hopefully they can do one last one to correct my right eye. I'm doing some research on this to learn more information on the surgery.

My daughter is having this surgery tomorrow and I feel that it finally hit me that is a serious surgery. This video helps a lot to be more informed about what’s going to happen and what to expect!

My 3 year old is having this surgery next week! All these comments helped my anxiety so much!! 🖤

I'm 18 and can't convince parents for having a check up ToT 18 years of being singled out by others. Hope I can have a successful surgery to cure this!

I've had this surgery!, obviously your eyes are sore after lol but it wasnt that bad in my opinion, I had a really positive experience, I recommend it to anyone with who is recommended it, I only had to stay 2 hours at most in hospital before going home

My eldest brother did this surgery when he was 8 back in 1995, thankfully he was operated by the best doctor in my country but his eye misalignment slightly "still a lot better than before" and have to use glasses, i believe it's genetic because my father has it and he can't see properly with his left eye.

So I've had this surgery done twice on me once when I was in 2nd grade the other in 4th. So I had what you call Extropia which is a type of Strabismus meaning my eye would drift outward randomly. But now after the surgery it pretty much went away like I've grown out of it, I mean I can still do it but on control it rarely happens on its own, and if it does happen it's usually only when I'm staring into space or super relaxed but other than that I've got it under control and it's just nice to see a video about it.

I had this surgery when I was four. I remember that I didn't feel pain at all due to the fact that I was given what i think was pretty potent pain medication but for the first 24hrs post surgery, I had gauze covering both my eyes. For the first few days, my vision was blurry and i used to have eye drops that I took for quite a while. I remember I cried a lot when it was time to put some on, and witnessed many kids do so as well. I still require glasses and yearly clinic visits to my ophthalmologist to check my eye muscle strength (also I have a nightly routine that exercises these muscles as to prevent me requiring surgery again).

I just had this surgery last week i’m so happy now, i used to never make eye contact with people or take pictures because i would always get made fun of.

My youngest son just had this procedure today. Thanks for the in-depth information.

i'm having this surgery on adjustable tomorrow, hope it goes well

I honestly didn't know you can treat it and now I'm mad cause I've seen a doctor about my lazy eye and he just said oh there's nothing wrong you have good vision, when I can barely read with my left eye cause it's so unfocused. I'll have to look into seeing someone else about it

I’ve had the surgery when I was seven. We also tried the non-surgical way as well, I remember wearing some patches which was weird to me. But then it was necessary to correct it with surgery as a last resort. I remember not being able to open my eye for nearly 2-4 weeks

Hi, I'm 56 years old, and I have this condition. I first had it in my right eye which was corrected 2 years ago, and then my left eye started to wander. I'm having this corrected the day after tomorrow so once again I will be able to see without double vision!!

Thanks Himalayan nepal eye hospital for succedful operation

I had two of these surgeries when I was growing up: one when I was a baby, which I don't remember, and one around the time I was old enough to be in school. The only thing I remember about the second one is wearing the eyepatch. (In fact, that year for Halloween, my mom said she had me dress as a pirate, and colored in the eyepatch with a black marker.) As a result, I have some visual impairments (partially also due to my hydrocephalus), and ended up getting bifocals a few years ago.

I was born crossed eye. Before I had has a baby I wore glasses but never kept them on. I had four surgeries on my eyes the first one was when I was about 9 months old, my second one when I was about 1 years old, my third one when I was about 1 and a half and the fourth when I was about 2 years old.

My baby has eye congenital alignment, what was done to her was given glasses and check up every 6 months.

My left eye doesn’t move to inwards & outwards, i can move to up & downwards, anybody has an idea that how much it would cost and is it curable?

I have lost my vision in the eye which is lazy and can my vision be regained after the surgery please reply..

My son has a lazy eye his right eye drifts sometimes I’ve told doctors and all they will do is get him glasses. Any tips on what I should or shouldn’t do can I fix it without surgery, do I need a special doctor or something to get my child eye sight fixed

I think I have this. It started suddenly like 5 months ago. my right eye wont stay straight for very long. i have to close that eye to even watch tv or do anything. I'm 22 years old. I'm getting my eyes checked out soon

I am 20 year old and i am having entropia eye.. so is it would be corrected at this stage.?

Can I do Squint surgery after retinal detachment surgery

Just watched a video from a real surgery of this and I feel so uncomfortable. A friend of me had this surgery and is very happy with the result, but personally I‘m happy I don’t have to do this cause it looks so painful and risky.

How many weeks or months. Can heal after surgery?

I’m probably going to have this surgery but my doctor said that once you touch your eye once you’re gonna regret it and not want to do it again because apparently it’s really painful to touch your eyes like a tapping sensation on your eyes on the edges and oh my god that sounds painful

I'll be getting this surgery on Jan 7th :) I can control my eyes for the most part due to prior surgery, but recently I've been losing control of keeping my eyes straight. Super excited.

I got strabismus after the surgery of brain tumor was done to me 10 yrs ago,now I'm using my right eye to see the objects, my left eye was displaced and vision was good for it, I'm in vizag, can u help me I want to become normal as before

Im 13, and ive had 4 surgeries til now. Soon enough i will have my 5th. I had my first surgery when i was 10 months old so i dont remember anything, expect my 4th surgery, when i was 6. So why do i still need another surgery after 4 others? That, I dont know. I never did my exercises correctly though, so im sure that affected it. Nobody really bullied me, but i always got weird looks and not everybody always talked to me, although i still had a lot of friends. My eyes are not so bad now. Close up you can almost not tell at all, but from far away its painfuly obvious as my right eye never follows my left. I have blurry vision on my right eye, therefore im also getting a laser treatment for it soon. Even in school, there was an eye test done by professionals in order to detect students with poor eyesight and get them to have help right away, and from 10 letters, i read 10 with my left and 1 (even that barely) with my right. My classmates were really confused, and even then a girl asked me with which one i couldnt see well, then said it was obvious. That did hurt my feelings a bit, but ive started to accept the fact that I also might never change. Ive gotten used to it now, but i also cant stop pursuing my mother to do the surgery and laser as fast as possible. I just hope everything goes well.

I really want to have this surgery but my mom doesn’t take this serious and also decides to laugh at my crossed eye and it makes me feel so uncomfortable around anyone

Is this sirgery available in india

Mine developed when I was 2! I consider myself lucky though, since I can control it! Now my eyes are unconsciously perfectly aligned like normal, however I can make one eye drift on command and its like a talent now! I was going to get surgery but my eyes ended up fixing themselves? I never had any patching or anything like that to help fix it, it was just natural. I'm not sure if this can happen to others or mine was maybe just a mild case.

Is it safe or is there any risk of eyesight loss? My brother is 14years old should we undergo him in this operation?

In 2018 , I take surgery ,because specialist said that I have cataract and they said that even if they perform a surgery My i sight would never go back to normal, since i have cataract ,i saw light but after my surgery and until now I saw nothing on my left eye . My left eye lost its sight. Is it because of the surgery I had? Or is it because it takes me a years to see a doctor to treat my cataract? Or does the cataract is the reason why I have strabismus today?

I have esotropia strimbismus and have had this for a year now. I'm 52 years old and have no family history of it being hereditary. I can't get a complete answer as what health issues led to me having esotropia strimbismus. My main hobby is slowpitch softball mens league. I've been playing 36 years until end of May last year 2023. I'm unable to field a moving ball coming right at me as it being a rountine ground ball or a line drive as I see side by side ( double vision). The ophthalmologist I saw in June of 2023 referred me to a neuro opthalmologist and after my examination, I was told that prism glasses wouldn't correct my double vision as my eyes have a mechanical issue and surgery will be needed for my eyes. I really hope this surgery will correct my double vision and I just might be able to put in a few games this year but won't happen until we're into mid to late fall season which lasts till 3rd week of November as my surgery will happen on the 1st or 2nd week of July.😂

Soo I am glad I found this because my next eye doctor appointment I have to make the choice for if I want the the surgery or not I may choose to get it I hope my insurance will pay for it

I have a question i have a lazy eye and my doctor might make me do the surgery which I don’t mind but will you be awake as a adult because I’m 18

I dont know if i should get surgery because my lazy eye just keeps getting worse its making me scared im afraid ill be blind but u dont know if the surgery will make my lazy eye better cause im afraid if the surgery will go wrong im afraid

This is the condition I have, I think I had it for years to come and never worried till now. Do you think I can still get it fixed if its been like this for years?

I did my strabismus yesterday. Any tips on what to do? Aside from doctors advise. It’s painful at the moment. What do i expect in the next few dayss?

I'm 22 and i want to get the surgery I'm ashamed of mine mine shifts to the left when I'm talking to someone I'm scared itll fail and I'll be blind

I needed to have 3 surgerys now. I hope not a 4th one

i had surgery on both of my eyes when i was 5 and my least favorite part was the eyedrops after. i just remember them burning my eyes and being held down by my parents to get me to do them

I might have undiagnosed strabismus, if I get mad or serious my one eye shoots to the corner and I look derpy

I suddenly developed strabismus. I don't understand. I'm 36 male... Maybe it was being on my phone and bad diet? I don't have a clue. I'm so depressed about it.

Hi watching this because my baby 2 years needs this surgery Dr said her eye it’s getting weak I’m so scared for her because I heard that after she will need glasses… she doesn’t used them right now … I don’t know what to do ?? Should I wait for surgery or should I do it now ??

My eight year old daughter has to get this on both eyes Friday the 14th the video was very helpful thank you for this it really explains the surgery and I feel better

I had this surgery when I was 8, it was fine for about 7 years but now I probably have to have another operation cause instead of my eye going to the inside my eye goes to the outside

I might need to get this type of surgery and I am very scared

i am scheduled for this on 11th may and i'm scared omg

My daughter is 4. And she is needing this op as her eyes drift outwards. Im so worried for her. Ive also been told she will need this op again when she is 10. And then She will need it few times during her adolescent life- that it is a life long issue. Can anyone tell me otherwise?

I had this surgery when I was a baby, think I was 1 or 1 1/2. Still have a mild wandering eye(it’s kinda like lazy eye, but mine will fix itself after a minute or so), but only when I don’t wear my glasses. Have had to wear glasses since 2 but have gotten way better since I was younger and doctors say I may not need them at some point in my life. Honestly the idea of not wearing glasses is strange, foreign to me, and a little uncomfortable. When you’ve gone your entire life without glasses seeing your face without them other than for bathing, sleep, etc can feel really unnatural. It feels like looking at a different person tbh..

I as a 4 and 5 year old had squint surgery ,two opps on right eye another vidro on another site said eye cant be removed but mum distinctly told me i my thirties thst vin one of the right eye surgeries thed told mum they would lay the eye on my cheek tighten up muscle and then put it back, was this nornal ,it was right eye in my late forties that had been having gut sickening ache and theve said muscle is losening causing the ache and floaters and dry ete but the right eye is the worst snd every teo yesr or less that eye detiorites

Had surgery when I was young and never knew how it worked 😂😂

I’m 23 had a bad car accident in 2023 now my eyes crossed trying figure out ways to fix my eyes once i get back on my feet

But one of my eye can switch so like my lazy eye in the left i can switch it is that normal?

My daughter just got this surgery done the other day and she is 7 years old. It was a success but the only problem now is putting the drops in her eyes. She will not cooperate at all and cries. It’s hard getting the drops in and I have to do it 3 times a day

My twins are having this surgery tommrow im so nerves having alot of anxiety

Are in Australia in Queensland that’s where I live. I have a lazy eye.

I have lazy eye but my country is not comfortable for this surgery When I can do it properly 🙂 Plz tell me the country of hospital

So I'm 13 yrs old so strabismus may not appear but when my eye feels so relaxed I notice my right eye is seeing my phone +window (I have wall eyes) I wanted to get surgery now I'm scared and horrified

I have strabismus and I've been wearing glasses since I was a little kid I'm 15 now, and it might sound wrong but I don't like the idea of hvaing to wear glasses and I don't think it suits me..

My 2 year old is having both eyes corrected in the morning. I’ve been so scared for him.

I was todays old 35 , when i found out that it can be fixed, imagine the bullying i have endure my inteir life

I had this when I was 7 and it came back in both eyes

ive had 6 surgeries for this and im still suffering

i can still see the stich in my right eye if its in the right angle

Can surgery on only one eye correct intermittent exotropia?

Is it possible to go blind with the surgeri

I am almost 1 year post surgery. The day after surgery everything hurt except my eyes lol

I quite literally had this surgery today. Very lucid afterwards. Was in excruciating pain the entire time, got carted out on a wheelchair, 30 minute ride home, got put into bed, feel asleep surprisingly fast, woke up 7 hours later to my eyes bleeding (which was terrifying but normal) I still want to die, but I'm fine now.

I have that

Can this thing cause by phones

I see two different things at the same time sometimes when I’m in the mirror I could say one eye if I focus and when I look in a little shiny doc, I can see you little tiny dots in the thing I want to maybe I could see in my eye And when I do something weird goes on the side it’s my left eye. I can make. I could do the same thing to my right eye mostly it’s my left one is bad and I’m 13

Is it painful and how risky is it

i had surgery on my lazy eye yesterday and it hurts so bad

I wish my eyes muscles will be remove without glasses.

مين هون من محاضرة ال RBCs 😅
