[@Kyremann]

You’re fantastic and this is so helpful. I’ve a slight lazy eye that turns inwards esp when tired, and doing this exercise I see only one pinky. I patched when I was a kid and have worn glasses since then (for computer/reading) since my parents didn’t feel too comfortable with surgery when I was a toddler (wore glasses since 10mos). Had an eye doc recently said he’s surprised at how my vision is essentially almost perfect, and that my left eye has just relied so much on my right. More of an aesthetic issue for me than visual. Will look into your consultation-your vids give me hope!

[@strabismustostereopsis7799]

I’m having a lot of trouble nowadays tracking a hockey puck, baseball, and even driving. Trying to get total costs for surgery (procedure, surgery room, anesthesiologist, and how much insurance will cover) for several months!

[@Someone-lr3zx]

My daughter 8 years old had little strabismus hardly noticeable. We went to an optometrist and she was told to wear glasses and do patching for 3 months. We did. Things improved then 2 weeks she was not wearing them and her strabismus went really bad! We went to another doctor optometrist, and she prescribed stronger glasses and advised against patching. Her strabismus improved little with glasses, but without glasses, it was worse. So now I m waiting for an appointment with other doctors and after reading reviews here I m thinking maybe I should not do any glasses as the things get worse!

Is it better to do these exercises sitting in front of a plain wall so the surroundings don't interfere with our depth perception?

[@strabismustostereopsis7799]

That definitely makes it easier at first. But it's actually great to do this in a room with other objects and practice opening your peripheral vision while doing the exercise. I created a course that can help with that part! learn.strabismussolutions.com/mastering-peripheral-vision

[@lisap9936]

I am 82 and l was operated for strabism at the age of 8 by a doctor Whittington who was apparently a pioneer in this kind of surgery. Once a week my mother took me on an hour’s journey to a hospital where l spent a while doing eye exercises on one of those machines where you have to get the ball in the bucket etc. l actually enjoyed doing them and was very assiduous. The right lens of my spectacles was of course covered. The day of the operation arrived and l think those exercises really helped because l was the only child in the ward ( there were about 6 children in all) for whom the intervention was successful. I was lucky, but often wonder if l could have healed the condition just by exercising with the type you show here. I still feel myself squinting occasionally when l am tired and l seem to have a slight squint in some photographs. I was a rather ugly child because of this and was greatly teased! 🇬🇧🙏

This exercise is done after wearing sunglasses or without sunglasses...??

[@Slm-w1o]

I am 24 years old. At the age of 16, my vision became very difficult. When I came to the eye doctor, I had myopic astigmatism. The left eye -5, the right - 4. At the age of 20, the minus in the left eye increased -7, the right eye remained the same. I also have a slightly lazy left eye, the eye muscle is slightly deviated towards the nose. I really wanted laser correction, but I was refused, because the astigmatism is high. I need a phakic lens operation, but I can see well with glasses, and my doctor didn't recommend it either, it's not in a hurry. By the way, about my lazy eye exercises. The doctor didn't say anything... because I have high astigmatism, there is no point in doing exercises, but if I do the exercises, will the discomfort ease a little?

It depends on the severity of the turn and if it is constant or intermittent. Within one year you should be able to see a big difference.

[@chadacton357]

Do you know if this exercise works for inner eye turn?

[@Dogpuppy789]

While you were explaining the doing the exercise side to side around 3:29 you kinda moved your head. Was that intentional? because usually they tell you to keep your head still and only move your eyes while doing eye exercises. Also thank you for this video as first I was a lil skeptical of the exercise as it just seemed like basic pencil push ups but it's definitely a lot more then that and there's way more feed back for your eyes.

[@strabismustostereopsis7799]

You're welcome for posting this! I definitely didn't intentionally move my head. That is just what happens when I try to talk and do exercises at the same time. My vision is still not perfect.

[@ahmadshafique3247]

Hello, this is great to see that you're replying to all the comments. I had a question. When doing this exercise, I see 2 thumbs and 2 pinkies. But I believe I look at the thumb with both my eyes. I think I'm at the same stage as you are in this video 😋 I had surgery about a month ago and have to ask my brain to look with both eyes. (Get double vision lol) Do you happen to know the reason of seeing 2 thumbs and will this exercise help fuse the images?

[@strabismustostereopsis7799]

This means that both of your eyes are working, but they are not pointing at the right place. Try moving your hand closer or further and notice the space between your thumbs changing. Do they get closer or further apart? Somewhere there is a point where they line up. You find that place and then work from there. Are you in vision therapy?

[@zainul_abdin_007]

I have the same issue, but my images never merge at any place, but closer to eyes it seems to merge.

[@HalimaAlhajiModu]

What if am not seeing with the other eye😢

@@user-oc3hk5sk9h Doctor told me that strabismus can persist, fresh from surgery. Mine only took a day to adjust. Researching from other's experience, results could take longer to manifest but with minimal improvements until it fully heals. I am already on my first week and a day from surgery and despite the persistimg redness of my eyes, the improvements are drastic. The reason for the pencil excercise recommended by my doctor, so the muscle would not "guard" which could result in our eyes losing the ability to see to the outermost regions when looking through our peripheral vision.

There is never a guarantee of 100% fix, especially with strabismus. But you can definitely have major improvements.

Omg god you wok my hope at my country i have met every eye doctor and they your right is useless now it will not come to the track

[@Jeff-mt6tq]

Have been wearing eyeglasses since kindergarten at 5 years old, now 56. My left eye has always turned outward, and when I was a child, I was told I had eye surgery where they supposedly cut a muscle in my left eye to help turn eye inward some, but to this day, it is still really turned outward. What's interesting though, is for quite awhile, I was unable to afford prescription eyeglasses, as I was self-employed and had no insurance, and during the time I was without eyeglasses, my left eye Strabismus became more symmetrical with my right eye for some reason. Not perfect, but far less noticeable. Sometimes I feel eyeglasses only worsen your eyesight, as opposed to improving eyesight. It's like a bandaid fix but the underlying issues causing vision problems are never seemingly treated with eyeglasses, but in some cases, only worsened. My vision now is worse, after wearing glasses for the past seven years + daily, than it was when I went without them all that time. My strabismus is worse now than I think it's ever been, at least I've never noticed it this bad anyhow. I only see one pinky with the trick you provided. Is there a frequency you recommend doing the trick to improve strabismus. I subscribed and look forward to your other tips as well.

Most vision therapy offices recommend 20-30 minutes of daily eye exercises. I would recommend going to in-office therapy. You can find an office at strabismussolutions.com/findvt/

Hello..I'm just commenting cuz i believe that u'll reply me... It's been a 3 years i felt little squint so this year i go to ophthalmologist and he said i have minor esotropia in both eyes but it's normal..still i felt so uncomfortable and insecure...can this be treated by doing this exercise or it may get worse by doing exercises??

[@strabismustostereopsis7799]

This is very common, especially if you spend a lot of time looking at screens. Doing exercises to open your peripheral and look in the distance instead of up close will probably help you. Have you looked into vision therapy?

What is your definition of lazy eye and What is the difference with strabismus? Does lazy eye affect your posture?

Hello I really need your help! I have alternating exotropia in both eyes where both eyes roll upward and stare into the sky and feel stuck in this position. Everytime i try to focus back at ground level it magnetically stares into the sky. And I’ve been through too much it’s really tough for me to deal with and i can’t keep living in fear every single day. i mostly feel it when anxious thinking about unfortunate traumatic events that happened in my life or stressful situations. Also when im driving it happens a lot. usually during sunny days. Life is not enjoyable at all, i just want to be able to go to work.

[@strabismustostereopsis7799]

I'm so sorry, that sounds really challenging. I definitely notice that my eyes respond quite strongly to stress in my life. Have you ever done vision therapy? It can help relax your visual system and teach you how to control your eye movements. I can help you find an office at strabismussolutions.com/findvt/

That was awesome!! Much better than using a pencil.. I was just asking "why can't I use my hands instead of a pencil" and bam, your video comes up. Thanks!!

[@strabismustostereopsis7799]

Excellent! I love the feedback that you can get when using your hand.

I have -2.5 left and -3.5 right sometime my right eye move in the outward direction what should i do people make fun of me in the school 😔

[@michelebrown5142]

Melissa I love you. I remember as a kid listening to my great aunt mumbling something while we were all eating breakfast. She didn't have her teeth in. My dad said "she's talking to you." I said "how was I supposed to know? She was looking way over there." I believe karma came back on me cause now I'm in my 50's and my eye looks like Bill Cosby. I saw your video and started doing the exercises. I had already tried the patch and everytime I took it off my eye drifted right back to the way it was. I love this exercise. I feel normal. I may not act it but I feel it. 😂

[@Mauro15563]

OK,OK,OK,OK,OK,OK! I though that something in my eyes isnt okay,but i see 1 thumb and 2 little finger when i focus on it! Btw,I see little bit a double in a background.

[@strabismustostereopsis7799]

That is great! Sounds normal to me.

[@Hope-xn5ow]

Can somebody explain me how to do the exercises? I didn't understand the process correctly. My English is weak
