Lasik Eye Correction

Lazy eye surgery?????

I'm in my early twenties and my eyes don't work together. I was crossed eyes as a young kid...actually one y/o. I had surgery and patches which corrected the crossness of my eyes (originally they were both looking toward my nose). But neither treatments aligned my eyes together to work together. The doctor wanted to do another surgery after the initial one and patches, but I never had that done. Do you think that was to fix the actual alignment? Anyway, if I am looking straight ahead the eyes look aligned together and I can see with binocular vision. But if I look right or left only one eye turns...and like I can actually SEE myself looking straight with one eye and to the left/right with the other. I can sorta force my straight looking eye in the direction of the other eye so it appears aligned, but looked closely and you can kinda see they aren't. But just naturally, my one eye will be looking straight and the other will look left/right...but I CAN control when it moves..

1. Lazer eye surgery just fixes the way you see. not the way your eyes move. I think if you practice more with trying just moving your eyes you can try fixing it yourself. ..I think it's kinda cool .you can see straight and left/right at the same time! damn!
2. I'm 17 and i had surgery about a year ago now to fix my lazy eye. My eyes are stright now, but i see double vision... which i never seen with my cross eye... I had the same problem though, i could see both ways... one was looking one way and the other was looking the opposite way... now i look the right way, but my eyes produce two images. I would suggest you try vision therapy first though if its available in your area, it targets the part of your brain that controls eye movement... when you have surgery if your eyes arn't completely aligned then they will not work together correctly and will return to crossing again. I'm probably going to have another surgery soon to have it corrected once again... Unfortunately vision theropay isnt offered in my area. Ive hurd it works better then surgery though... it will help to make your vision better too, where surgery will only fix your eyes cosmetically. Good luck!
