Lazy eye surgery

[Invalid]

Hi, ive been blind in my right eye since birth, Im 16 right now.
My right eye is always wandering to the right and is not aligned with my left eye when i look straight, it also twitches to the right

My question is, is there any surgery or anything to get it realigned?

Then see a strabismus-pediatric ophthalmologist (Eye MD). You can go to www.aao.org and use the Find An Eye MD to locate one near you.

Thanks, and I do wear glasses all the time and do avoid things with eye injury risk

But I would really like my right eye to look straight, even if its just cosmetic

Surgery to make your eyes straight will not make your vision better. If surgery does straighten your eye because the two eyes don't work together (Fuse) after several years the eye may well drift in, out, up, down.

You most important eye is the "good" one. You need a yearly exam by an Eye MD ophthalmologist, you need to wear protective glasses all your waking hours, avoid things with high risk of eye injury, avoid contact and raquet sports, not smoke.  Have your parents make an appointment with an Eye MD physician ophthalmologist for a complete exam and discussion.
