What if you have double vision? I have a lazy eye depending on what eye im focusing with. So both are lazy depending on wich eye im using. Im trying to figure out my best option to fix it

I am now 72... When I was 6, I was diagnosed with amblyopia (lazy eye) in my right eye and had surgery to clip eye muscles to properly align this. Unfortunately, by that time my left eye had become dominant. I have correctible vision in both eyes, but normally see the world through my left eye unless it is closed and I see it through my right. Now I have cataracts in both eyes and need surgery. Of course I will provide the surgeon with this information, but first a couple questions: 1) Will surgery be performed on both eyes or just the dominent one? 2) If both eyes, then which eye will have surgery first? Any other information I should know about cataract surgery in this situation or inform the surgeon about prior to or after the surgery?

Ive nevr had a lazy eye until two years ago when i got hit in the eye eith a foot ball. And now the headaches are just to much. Granted its intermittent but i dont see any advice for adults much less information. It would be really great to see another educational video but geared towards adults who aquired this lazy theough being adult. If your able to help us out with your insight that would be wonderful. I love how you make the videos so easy to understand and packedful of information just wish there was more info on adult lazy eye

But went for consultation to have an opetation to straighten my eye but the surgeon said i will need 2 operations one to straighten my eye and then one to correct my eye placement as he said it will be higher than my other eye. Ive never heard of this beofe is it correct

My daughter has had eye surgery 4 times because of lazy eye

I had lazy eye inwards and upwards at the same time. It was thanks to being born with scar on my retina from toxoplasmosis as fetus. So I´m half blind on that eye so I wasn´t using it =lazy eye. But they couldn´t cover my only healthy eye so I got surgery around when I was 9 yrs old. They told me I might need another one in 5 yrs. Now I´m 30 yrs old and my eye drifts off only when I´m super tired, because after that I worked on using that eye at least for my orientation/outer vision.
