I m 31 years old and my right eyes crosses periodically from strabismus. I had surgery to correct it when I was around 2 or 3. Growing up through high school it seems like it stayed crossed all the time because of my being involved in lots of sports(which seems to always cause them to cross). The past 10 years they haven t crossed that much but it s primarily because I avoid situations that would typically cause my right eye to go inward(playing sports, sometimes dinner or people just being up in face to close). When it does cross it will typically stay like that until I go to bed and wake up the next morning. I was just wandering if there was a surgery to completely fix the crossed eye for good? I am also far sided and my eye doctor was saying that if I had the surgery that it could cause my eye to go outward. Any input would be appreciated. P.s. Im not sure if it s mind over matter but lots of times when we have family gatherings or meetings or other appointments I ll have a few beers to relax me from over thinking that my eye is gonna cross. I no, sounds crazy, but it seems to help. Any suggestions?
Surgery for strbismus was done in proper age. but proper follow up and orthoptic management was not done. Now at this age there is no possibility of improvement by surgery. Cosmetic correction can be done.
