Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 25 years old. I have a problem of left eye muscle weakness which is lazy eye and due to which my two eyeballs do not coordinate most of the time. I feel complex and low. Unfortunately, I have been an amazing student and never worried about it. I never did any exercise for it. Can I get this corrected by using a patch and doing exercise for muscle strength? I do not want to go for surgery. Please guide me.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You may have two distinct but inter-related problems of squint and amblyopia. Squint is the deviation of eye and amblyopia is the lazy eye. Patching will work when you are younger, usually less than 10 years of age. Squint surgery is simple, and an option if the squint is large. Vision therapy is a new treatment available and is non-surgical. So, you may seek the same.
