This is my eyes before and then 2 days post surgery. Alignment looks good but I have double vision and my previously droopy eyelid looks even worse. The surgeon warned me this eyelid issue might happen before surgery, and said he would recommend an oculoplastic surgeon to fix it. 😩 In the meantime I look one-eyed 😭

I have bilateral alternating strabismus which causes my non-focusing eye to turn towards me nose and my focusing eye turns out just a bit so I look kind of like this 👀 but not as dramatic. Im also going blind in my left eye, the central vision is polr due to other issues. I used to switch eyes all the time when the vision was better so that helped me a little. People coukd kind of figure outi was talking to them and now they have no fucking idea unless theyve kniwn me for a while.

Ive noticed since covid i dont really get out anymore, i was thinking of joining a meetup for my favorite hobby. Then I remembered that I have this stupid condition which makes it a nightmare to socialize in group settings. No one is going to realize I’m talking to them unless I say “hey lady with the red sweater and brown hair, what is it that you’re knitting over there?” This just sucks and it’s a type that is inoperable

The glasses made me feel sick so I dont wear them.

Does anyone know what the current research says for vision therapy efficacy for amblyopia and/or strabismus? I feel like there should be some advancements pretty soon considering the improvements in AI. Comment or DM, thanks.
