Hi! I'm new here - RK sent me over. Our little Ruby is getting set for eye surgery in August, and I had some questions. So, I came to this older post, to take a quick peek at sweet Sophie!
You have a beautiful family!
Hey Michelle,

Your Ruby is a doll and I love her name. (It was on my list).
Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this. My daughter will have strabismus surgery next month and I have been wondering what her eyes will look like in those first few days afterwards.
toddlerglasses-
You're very welcome. I'm glad it was helpful to you. Good luck to you and your daughter on her surgery. Honestly, after the anesthesia wore off and she was back to herself, it wasn't too terribly bad of a recovery.

Hello my son is going to be 2 n he got diagnosed with strabismus he's getting surgery in november n would like to ask u a couple of questions my email is legnar15@yahoo.com
Hello, my name is Kwellin and I am 31 years old. I initially had strabismus surgery in 1982 on the outer muscles in my eyes which didn't correct the problem. I had alternating exotropia in both eyes with no depth perception and my left eye was the dominant eye. Also, I had limited periphreal vision in the right eye as well. I had muscle surgery 13 days ago and so far so good. They didn't correct the left eye because that is the dominant one that was always usually in focus anyway so they aligned the right eye. Some pain and nausea after surgery and I needed a week to recover but I am glad I finally went through with it and would recommend to any adult considering having it.
When I was approximately 5 years old, (1959-1960?) my parents had the strabismus surgery done on me. This worked well until I was 52, after the left eye had been moving
once again to the left. This had started slowly about 2-3 years after cataract surgery on both eyes, but I do not connect the two.
Shorty after the surgery, the Dr. performed Laser eye surgery to clear up some areas that appeared cloudy. In the most recent surgery, the Dr. operated on the right eye, as there previous scar tissue from the surgery when I was 5 years old.
I'm in the process of scheduling another surgery, and will request and hope he works on the left eye. Is there a professional online that would agree my requesting the left eye, rather than use the right eye for a 3rd surgery? Thanks for having this forum to discuss in as an anonymous person, as if the Dr. read this, he could be upset at my questioning his decision.
I had surgery at age six. Perfect results that lasted! Last year, at 42, I started catching slight turns, and it just got a lot worse. I was hoping it was just age and they could change my Rx or something, but I just scheduled surgery again to correct.
I learned that surgery now involves adjustable sutures so that if there is reoccurrence, they can do it in a minor adjustment procedure instead of redoing it.
I also learned that they try not to do surgery on the same muscles twice, as there is already trauma on those.
Interesting stuff...nice to see that i'm not alone!
My grandson just turned 2 months old and has extropia with a left eye dominant. Is it too early to do anything?
HI! This sight is great! My son just started with a left eye problem (his eye goes inward.) He is scheduled for an MRI but the eye doctor is thinking surgery. Can someone please e-mail me as I have tons of questions. Thanks so much!
