Omg Kyle your eyes look amazing thank the lord you have a healthy thanks for updating and sharing my daughter has strabismus and is going to need surgery I’m freaking out cuz she’s only 2 ! 🥺
There are a lot of vision therapies / exercises that the kid can do to correct it normally (train the brain). I've had strabismus (lazy right eye) since childhood and got the surgery done when I was 7 (am 30 now). Get her proper glasses and get her checked regularly since the vision imbalance is like the main cause for eyes drifting. Treat surgery as a last resort. My lazy eye started drifting away after the surgery by the time I was 13 / 14. With age my non-lazy eye has become normal (doesn't need any glasses) but my lazy eye still has the same nearsightedness like when I was 6/7...
I TOTALLY get the insecurity that it brings and I have only dealt with this for a year and not as a child. I was picked on for being tall and wearing glasses as a kiddo. Kids can be so mean...I am sorry that you dealt with that. I am sure it made you a kind adult.
Thanks for the video! You look amazing. I have had a lazy eye all my life. I am now 26. I didn’t realize it at first, but one day my sister pointed it out to me when I was about 7. Every since, my confidence went downhill. I don’t socialize anymore and I don’t initiate conversations, because to have a conversation with someone, you have to look at them. I just had my consultation and I am due for surgery June! I am super excited but also extremely nervous.
The exact same as me!!! It completely changed my life… I’m now a nurse, where conversations are integral. Before the surgery, i couldn’t look at you in the eye. Now, I’m so much more confident!
Thank you for making this, I’m getting my surgery soon and I keep thinking they’re going to over fix it. I appreciate you sharing your story especially since a lot of ppl w lazy eye relate
Aww, It is so unfair that people teased you for that..I never knew about this and it is good to know about this as I've decided to do MBBS when I turn 18 then do MD in Microbiology and do research
Great video! I was born with perfect vision and straight eyes but after eye cancer surgery my left eye got lazy. Hopefully I will be a candidate for surgery this spring. I’m glad your surgery went well mate! Btw, I’m also studying nursing! Be well
have you gone though the same process as my self or does it differ? im so sorry to hear about your circumstances... thats awful. are you now cancer free? oh thats amazing! what year? :)
@@2OrdinaryGuys Yeah quite similar. It’s a long process. So far it has taken almost a year. I have been doing great the last 5 years or so, but I will never be 100% cured so going on check ups every now and then, looking for mets. First year, second semester now! I really enjoy the medicine and anatomy courses.
I would love to get this done, although I would be terrified! You're brave for going through this honestly Kyle! I saw there is only a 80 to 90 percent success rate meaning there is a ten or 20 percent failure! That is quite scary as that means 1/2 in 10 people have problems with their surgery ...
hello Serina! it was quite a scary time! yes, i wasn't aware of the statistics behind the surgery actually but seeing them are quite concerning... however, the failure would involve the eye becoming lazy again. i dont think this involves injuries etc.
This was interesting. I don’t know anything about the process of the surgery you had. I recently had laser eye surgery (SMILE) and you’re awake for the whole procedure. It was completely painless though, and really interesting to be able to see the entire process as it happened!
THANK YOU for doing this video! I have my surgery scheduled on March 12th. I am nervous and excited. Was the surgery painful? Were you awake for surgery? I am so glad that my process to surgery has only been 6 months from my first exams. Definitely tons of exams, but not a delay for pre-op or surgery. Praise God. My eye is driving me nuts, I see double so badly right now that it has limited my driving capabilities to none.
I'm also from the UK and really need this surgery so thanks for sharing, did you speak to your local gp or your opticians to start the process of having surgery with the NHS? I imagine privately it would cost a hell of a lot 🤔 lazy eye completely cripples confidence at work and socially or most things for that matter at least for me anyway but with covid I've really been put off getting the ball rolling with it.
I had my surgery on one eye. Now it looks like the other eye is lazy. I dont know what to do. The doctor told me to exercise both eyes. N said i probably need future surgery on the other eye. Im like do it now. Why wait? I am not mad but im dealing with it because i have to be grateful. It do look wayyybetter
@@2OrdinaryGuys double vision is actually worse right now… I’m hoping it heals and improves. The ophthalmologist did say I will likely require 2 surgeries. Right now I can only thwart double vision by looking straight ahead and not moving… my eye seems kinda like it floats around. I really hope this is part of the healing process.
@@Chelsea-mr9tr I was put under for the operation... they woke me up and there were tiny threads I didn't notice hanging out so they could more precisely align my eyeball gaze. The first few days I couldn't really get ahold of the doctor but my eye wasn't moving much at all... and it was double vision everywhere and I was quite worried it didn't work. It took 2 or 3 weeks before it really started settling and I realize just how much it had improved. I'm very happy I had it done now. I still can't look very far upwards without getting double vision.. but I can look straight and slightly upward and i'm grateful for it. Best of luck with your surgery! Be patient and calm! I bet ya it will be worth it in the end and you'll be happy. Hope to hear back here and that it worked out great!
Man great results! Congratulations! I have the same problem that you had! I want to get a surgery! But i don’t even know where to start haha .. any recommendations?
Great video mate, I'm in the UK also and had my op done 4 weeks ago and loving how good it turnerd out for myself and looks like yours was a great success too. Is their anything I should keep an eye on in the next couple of months coming that you noticed with yours? I have an eye condition called Ocular Albinism so that's why I had have the lazy eye and more complications with the eye etc. Kind regards Josh
I've got to have surgery on my right eye as I have a lazy eye which goes inwards. I'm nervous as anything but I'm looking forward to it as well. I've had my lazy eye for a few years now and I'm wondering if my eye would become more central and not drift inwards. I've got to have my surgery done in St George's hospital in Tooting
I've just had the same surgery as you a few days ago. Did you find your eye was initially facing a little the other way (inward) and not exactly centred? Does your eye move at all when recovering, or has it been in the same position since the op?
i’m around the same age as you and in the UK too, just wondering if this was covered by the nhs?? when i go back to uni in september i’m going to get an eye test and see what they see, but it’s really nice to see a young person to talk about it. really well done on having the surgery done, i can imagine it was scary :)
hi there i got hit by ball on my left eye before 5yrs and just a week before i noticed my left eye has gone little deeper and not balanced as my right eye due to that trauma. is it somehow related to strabismus surgery?
Thanks for the video Kyle. I just had the surgery, I would say 90% of my strabismus is gone. The 10% left, is only when I start to read something and my surgery eye is tired, it starts to drift a little bit. Do you feel similar symptoms? Do you wear glasses or do some post-surgery eye training?
I think have a lazy eye and or something they call “Estropia”. I haven’t gone to a eye doctor about it but I’m pretty sure I have it. But the “lazy eye” I have only happens when I look up. It turns inward like a cross eye. But goes back to normal when I look forward. But if I try to look far away at something I can feel it Strain and go inward (cross eyed) again. I was wondering if a surgery could fix that?
Hey Kyle So I had my surgery 2 days ago And the only concern I have is that I am still seeing blurred from the surgery eyes and I am very concerned Did you experience the same? Please let me know if possible Thanks
Hey Kyle I just had strabismus surgery today on my left eye. I had double vision for upgaze on it. (My left eye wouldn’t look up or even straight ahead after an injury and the muscle being caught on a skull fracture. I am having a really hard time seeing single vision right now. Double vision almost everywhere I look. Was this the case for you as well? TY for the great vid.
I did have that yes, for a few days. You need to try and train your eyes doing exercises. It eventually will get better. If it doesn’t, seen advice from a healthcare professional
@@2OrdinaryGuys cool thanks… I’ve been keeping the one eye closed or covered partly throughout the day cause it’s really disconcerting with the double vision. But I spend some time with it open working to retract it to work with the other eye too
@@m.dj2046 yes… got punched in the eye. My eye is healed now and is way better than it was before. I’m pretty happy with it. Does still not look up all the way but has greatly improved and double vision is much more rare now
@@mykotron you break only the floor of the orbit or floor and medial wall? After blowout surgery how long you waited on strabismus surgery (do you know if inferior oblique muscle is injured)? And after blowout surgeru how you seen double - tilted on angle (or without tilting just up and down or one on top of each other)?
Your videos really inspire me and did my surgery yesterday it was really scary and put me in high headache...but today i feel better than yesterday...I have a question...did your eyes lift again after the surgery or it perfect and aligns well??
bro i have also done mine surgery of right eye last week after surgery mine eyes are straight but i have double vision i have double vision before and after surgery i am worried about double vision my consultant doctor said me come again for recheckup after 3 weeks☹️
i have double vision couple of months ago in short doctor declared that i have strabisum in right eye and eye drift inward anyways the option is surgery and surgery done last week but after surgery 1 week has been passed and my eyes are straight but i have still double vision can you tell me that's normally or my eye muscle is not fully heal up? or another problem? because my consultant doctor said me you will recheck up after 3 weeks☹️
