Strabismus surgery on one eye
by dp33, Nov 01, 2009 01:34AM
After my second operation the last one being 17 years ago when I was 19 my eyes are currently straight when using my left eye which is my dominant eye however my right eye will drift outwards if I don't concentrate or tired however they are straight and most people don't notice.If I use my right eye or look at something toward my right, my left eye turns outward and also up and my eyes are never straight.This is more noticeable and feels somewhat uncomfortable.I will be having surgery in 1 month on my left eye to move it down.I am worried and I forgot to ask the doctor of the risk, if any, that the surgery on that eye could cause my eyes not to be straight as they are now when using my left eye?

I would recommend that you speak with your eyeMD further as he/she is aware of your specific situation. I would definitely give him the information you provided here.
