Hi, iv had asquint-esotropia from birth. my eye sight is good in both eyes.Patched when was younger. Never needed glasses. My right turns in, it only stratens when my left eye is covered, My left eye then turns in and up. i am thinkin of surgery what are the chances it (alignment) will be corrected and will both eyes need to be operated. only doing if for cosmetic purposes so turn not as noticeable.

Generally surgery success rate can be very good - but remember sometimes more than one surgery is needed. Sometimes one eye and sometimes both eyes will be operated on - but be prepared for both eyes. Make sure you have an excellent pediatric ophthalmologist - because good surgical technique is very important for success.
