Always nice to hear positive experiences Penny.
Hi, I actually also have a toxoplasmosis related scar on my left eye. I realize this is years after you posted this, but I had to say that my left eye was lazy and I experienced a lot of double vision. I had the muscles on either side tied to straighten it. The recovery was about a month, but very worth it. Not only was I more confident, but my headaches and double vision lessened. I also stopped being as clumsy! I hope since 2008 you have gotten some other good advice. I just had to share--I highly recommend a muscle straightening surgery to anyone considering it. It really changed my life.
Sorry about my English on here my iphone screen is tiny and it's kinda hard to proof read my message on here.
It's fun but I have the exact same identical problem as you it miss my left eye by a mm. If always dreamed about being in the military and becoming a law enforcement officer. I have everything it takes to become a great officer but Vision is holding me back. Now I have to get job where 20/200 vision is not a problem but I keep dreaming my dream. I how stem cell or nanotechnology will help my dream come true <=-/
No radiation is being experimentally with new choroidal neovascularization but it does not remove established scar.

is it possible to remove the scar by any radiation Method
am a student from India
now am also patient of this disorder toxoplasma
due to gods grase it had affected my right eyes only so i didnt have any problem in left eye
but through my right eye i cant read any thing and my vision is 6/60 in right eye and 6/6 in left
Thanks again. That's all the questions I had..That's for taking the time to respond to them.
I don't think eye muscle surgery to straighten the eye would be called dangerous. There are risks but relatively small as eye surgery goes.

THanks for the advice, I pretty much figured that was the case..Waiting on stem cells or nanotech :).
Would eye muscle surgery be dangerous due to my right eyes condition? I read online that it's relatively safe and not that invasive, but there are risks in every surgery.
1. No surgery is available. None is likely soon. Down the line: stem cells, nanotechnology, bioelectronic retinas may help you.
2. Eye muscle surgery will not make the eye see better only improve the appearance of the misaligned eye.
3. Best bet protect the vision you have from injury and disease. See an Eye MD yearly. Wear protective eyewear.
