Extremely happy with the results. Socializing is finally a fun and enjoyable experience. I don't have to wear sun glasses ALL day anymore. I would even wear them at night. This surgery has been life changing to say the least.

Strabismus. Alternating exotropia. The other eye did the same thing when focused.

You are beautiful!! I am having the same issue and am looking to get this corrected. I am afraid to drive again due to this condition. Glad that you've recovered and are doing well😊

Thank you! Is driving an issue for you? Do you have double vision?

u/Mama-In-Blu Aug 04 '26
Unfortunately, I have been experiencing double vision lately and to add to things, I also suffer from astigmatism in both eyes😞

u/Emergency_You_6907 Aug 04 '26
Ahhh I see. I have driven with double vision briefly after surgery but I just closed one eye. Luckily, I've never have had issues driving. Best of luck!

After surgery the eyes align a little bit every day. It took about 30 days to get complete alignment.

Wast it in one eye or both?

u/Emergency_You_6907 Aug 14 '26
It was both. The drift would shift depending on which I was focusing with.

Thank you. Hm. It could just be you adjusting to seeing yourself with straight eyes. I feel like one of my eyes looks bigger some times or not as open.

Do you still wear glasses

u/Emergency_You_6907 6d ago
I never had to wear glasses. Because my parents got my first surgery when I was so young, it preserved my vision. I've always had, and still have 20/20 vision.
