Accident, Lazy, And Lost of Vision Posted: 02-16-04 11:56am
Hi all,
i hope someone has had the same experience
as me. When I was about 8 years old, my
cousin pulled a sirenge into my left eye.
Not the needle, but the back part of the
sirenge, its kind of like a circle. I
was completely blind for that entire day.
However I regained vision on my right
eye, and my left side vision remained
blurry (almost blind). Doctors said that
I needed surgery asap, and I had it.
However, this didnt work. I still could
not see completely from my left eye.
Now I am 28 years old and still see blurry
from that eye. In addition, the eye is
still lazy. Has anyone had the same
experience and is there anything that can
be done to correct both, the lazy eye, and
the blurriness.

Hello, im can kind of relate, ok here is
my story. My son is 4, and he has a lazy
eye (blurred vision almost blind) and what
they are doing to try to correct that is
patching up his good eye, making his "bad"
eye work, they said if he were a year
older, there would be nothing that they
could do to help him. Im not sure about
the injury part though, just thought I
would through in my relationship to the
"lazy eye" part. Hope that you find
something that will work for you.. Did
they say that you are legally blind?
Because that is what the doctor said about
my son, she said that if they dont fix it
now, when he would become an adult, they
would consider him as legally blind, and
he would not be able to drive a car etc

Hi,
thanks for your help. No, I am not
legally blind (though I have never check
when I came to the usa, my surgery was
done in dominican republic), I can still
see from my right eye after 20 years. I
can also see from my left eye, just that
it is very blury. But it always was the
same way and I never regained vision or
lost it.
I can still drive a car and have a normal
life. But after having this problem for
so many years, I now want to fix it.
Plus, imagine if I loose my vision on the
right eye, that would be a problem.
