Home remedy for Diplopia

Home remedy for Diplopia

I underwent "eye muscle surgery" four years ago for strabismus, that surgery resulted in constant diplopia ( Never had it before ).... Opthamologist seem to can't get a fix on this problem, prisms are un-effective on me..( I am blacking out one lens on sunglasses ).
My next step is to seek a method to eliminate the vision of the amblophic eye thus eliminating the double vision....
There must be a liquid chemical or lighting method ( I can apply to my eye ) to end this nightmare I am living.......
Any help, ideals will be greatly appreciated.....
I've listen to the people in the medical field and have already wasted too much time on methods that yield no results..

Thank you for any help I can get........ Desperation seems to be kicking in.....

I have a couple of suggestions for you.

1)  See your eye care provider about ways to blur your vision in your bad eye.  There are a number of possibilities, including a high plus contact lens/glasses lens or a foil or special coating for your glasses lens.  Do NOT use any liquid chemicals!

2)  If you haven't already done so, get a second/third opinion from an experienced strabismus specialist.  In your place, I would definitely consider traveling to see one of the "top" strabismus specialists in the country.  For a nominal fee, you can get the names/locations of some of the best American strabismus specialists from Castle-Connolly's directory.  (Try googling.)  Please don't give up hope.  The first five specialists whom I consulted all told me to go home and live with my eye problem, but I stuck gold with doc #6.
