Hey, just wanted to say thank you for taking your time making these videos to help those with eye conditions by giving out FREE helpful tips and information. There are a lot of doctors/professionals on Youtube who refuse to give out these tips and exercises unless you fork over the money for one of their programs. People are who they are, I suppose.... you can't teach kindness to some if they're unable to grasp what empathy is, I mean it's not like offering a few helpful tips for those who are suffering is going to make you go broke. Anyway, I think you are awesome for making these videos and here's hoping for continued success for you in your practice.

I'll be 65 soon and have had intermittent Exotropia Strabismus since childhood. Some time around 7-8yo, an eye doctor gave me the pencil eye exercises which helped a lot but around 40-45, I started noticing problems again, especially when tired. The last 6-8 years have gotten much worse and before Covid, I was considering realignment surgery. It is still intermittent but far more frequent now and I get headaches from trying to read. This condition really sucks. I never read more than a couple paragraphs at a time anymore.
I'm very glad I stumbled onto this video and learned much. I'm in OC so I hope to make an appointment soon, once I get a referral and if it's covered under my insurance.

I've had severe diplopia for many many years, I've had surgery, it was ok till my right eye suffered an infection. Ever since, especially when I'm tired, I fight to keep my right eye straight (exotropia). It really bothers me cause I like to read and write with my PC. So I do exercices every day to strengthen up the muscles. The results are so so but I'm an optimistic Québécois and hopefully things will get back to normal in the long run, actually, the sooner the better. I'm 66 years old by the way. Signed: A guy who desperately wants to spend his golden years with a binocular vision. Your opinion please? You're doing a great job, thanks a million Doc.

I suddenly developed this. I'm 36 I'm so scared. It's ruined my whole life. I'm an artist

[nicholemiller]

I just saw an eye doctor and I can see fine but my left eye is moving outward and she basically told me there's nothing I can do to make it better or make it worse so I'm really disappointed so thank you for these videos

[SpikyBrandee]

Thank you for your explanations and exercises and being so kind!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi, you mentioned about eye stretches exercises but I could not find the video within your channel pertaining to it. Do you know where can i find them?

[CromwellEdonis]

Great. There was treatment to this. I was thinking of removing my left eye due to how annoying it is.

[keropiro]

I'm having a hard time finding the video you mentioned regarding eye stretches. Can you please link the video? Thank you!

Hey
I am sabbir and i am 19

When i was 15 one day i noticed something unusual in my left eye.everything was really blury only in my left eye, so when i looked into the mirror i noticed that my left eye was pointing outwards from my nose.(my both eyes were Normal and fine before that)Since then my life kind of a became a living hell 😅. My friends started teasing me, my cousins started teasing me, my girlfriend at the time broke up with me and even the teachers and classmates where always teasing me. so because of all that i had quit my studies, i stopped going outside, i stopped visiting my relatives and Kind of isolated myself from the rest of the world.its been like this for the past 4 years now.
... Now that i am 19 now i have some responsibility's, and i don't want to be the same person that was during the 4 years.
And about my left eye

It moves alongside my right eye, it sometimes Even alignes itself straight with the right eye but again it drifts away to the left.
Now i would like to get some help if i can and if anyone can give me any tips on how to fix my eye will really help me and my family.

Thank you so much for your hardwork, Doc.

2:10 i have strabismus and i can actually straighten it by engaging the muscle, but when i engage it my vision got so blurry. Is there any explanation for that?

[DC_Fedens]

I was born with a severe esotropic strabismus. I had surgery as a small kid and it was corrected. Now I'm 38 and experiencing exotropic strabismus which has crushed my confidence 😢

[calliesmith]

Thank you!! I've dealth with BVD and wearing prism lenses and i spent over 5, 000 on vision therapy and my prism lesnes broke so now having issues again, these exercises are helping me so much.

[xX_N_E_O_Xx]

I've been looking for such explanation

[Ziyanda]

Hi doctor, i did research and thought i have astigmatism bu the eye doctor said i'm near sighted after ding an eye test. I have strabismus, will the prescription for nearsightedness help correct strabismus?

[loui.e]

[MistressMarigold]

My 4 year old grandson has this problem 😭 thank you for this info 😔

[luckydevil]

I have slight strabismus in the left eye. I tried patching my good eye for several hours a day and it kinda alleviated the misalignment. I don't have double vision while reading as often as I used to. Im 33.

[bishalsaha]

Doctor how much it will need to cure ? And how many time in a day i have to do this exercise?
