AMBLYOPIA QUERY
AGE 25
MALE
I have undergone LASIK in my both eyes 2 days ago. I have now 6/6 vision in both eyes and near vision is also normal. But I had 15° intermittent extropia in my right eye before the LASIK which was previously operated at the age of 6 but again occurred a few years ago. Doctor advised me to go for LASIK first as I had large eye power in both eyes and later they suggested to go for squint surgery. Now my LASIK is done and both eyes has 6/6 vision but squint is still present. ( Same symptoms).
My questions
1. Will convergence exercises help
2. Will squint surgery deteriorate my visual acuity?
3. Should I go for squint surgery? If I don't opt for squint surgery ? Will my squinted eye vision get worse periodically? ( Most important question)
4. Recovery time after squint surgery ?
convergence excercise will help but you must wait for some time afte lasik. squint sugery will not detoriate your eyesight but for some time you may develop diplopia.if desired recovery doesn't take place after exercise then you can go for squint sugery. if you don't opt for squint sugery then if one eye constantly remains out of focus then the eyesight of deviated eye may be affected.but it's not necessary. recovery time after squint sugery will vary from few weeks to few months.
