Ok well here we go....When I was 3-4 I was
diagnosed with having lazy eye (turning
outward- exotropia) and was patched on the
said eye...Now being 4 years old and
getting asked every second of everyday
"whats wrong with your eye...You look
silly etc..." I didnt likewearing them and
took them off for sports or peeked over
the top of the glasses for studying so I
had to have surgury...This worked great
iuntil I was 18 years old and then it
reverted back outward.... This caused
me to me a recluse and not want to meet
anybody and thus slumped into severe
depression....Even the ormand street
hospital in london said another op was a
waste of time (great help they were) but
at age 23 a wonderful lady in my local
sussex hospital said it was not a problem
at all and (after much asking) I managed
to get my op day fowarded 4 months and the
op was a complete success... Since this
my confidence soared, I married a woman I
met a few days before the op 6 months
after and now we live in japan with two
beautiful daughters.
Now my question is this...Everyday I look
in the mirror and am scared that I will
wake up one day and my eye will turn out
again or worse..Am I on borrowed time
here..Do I only have a limited time to
enjoy this cosmetic look...Or is there a
chance it will last out with me? I'm 28
years old now
should I be doing eye excercises?
I feel so stressed about this as my job
involves meeting lots of people everyday
and I sometimes model for magazines and tv
commercials here.
My eye does get very red after ive had a
sleep but it is stable.
Can someone give me an idea of how long
correction surgury can last in adults?Can
it be perminent?
