Vision Therapy

My right eye has always kind of done its own thing, and I'm super self-conscious about it.
I know I look funny and I know people notice. Kids will still comment.

I got my hair done last night and I could REALLY see my eye turning in when looking in the mirror.
It's not constant but it is often enough. I know the more I focus on it the worse it probably is but still......

(My hair came out AWESOME tho, I love the girl who does my hair (Eida), she is amazing and I always feel a thousand per cent better after getting my hair done.)

Since my surgery 2 people have told me that my eyes look straighter, and I *think* maybe that is possibly true at a certain angle but only up close.  At least from what I can tell in a mirror.  Otherwise I think it is worse.

There is some neuroadaptation going on and I also think reading glasses make it worse.  As it is, my brain already mostly-ignores my right eye.  My distance vision is now significantly better in my left eye vs right eye than previously.  But I am using my right eye more for close-up stuff, like reading my phone in the morning before I put my contact in.

My eyes feel uncoordinated, and switching the reading glasses on and off makes it worse, that's how I feel anyhow.  It's like my brain doesn't know how to coordinate my eyes anymore.  I know it is temporary but my right eye is crazy and I look funny and I find myself avoiding looking at people because of it.

Years ago I asked my eye dr if there was anything that could be done and he said no.
But I looked some stuffs up and found....

Lazy Eye Tetris...!!!!

What???? I *LOVE* Tetris!!

Apparently this has been in clinical research since 2013 or so with excellent results- much better than patching which I know does not work.  My right eye ran mostly solo for about 2 weeks and all it did was confuse my head.

So I need to try this.  These games force the eyes to work together.
I ordered my 3D glasses a few minutes ago, and I think I'm going to give it a go even before I get a multifocal contact lens.

I found some other eye exercises here, to strengthen muscles.

I hope I can get some good results, any improvement would be amazing.

  1. Good luck with your eye coordinating exercises. I hope it works. Some drs have a difficult time keeping up with all the latest news in their field.
