What next?

I have suffered from Alternating Exotropia, a type of Strabismus, and been wearing glasses since before my first birthday. I've had 7 lasik eye surgeries, from age 1 to 7, which did nothing for me. I am 22 now, still with Alternating Exotropia. What next?

Lasik eye surgery is not for eye muscle problems (stabismus) but for refractive errors mainly myopia or astigmatism.  If you want the alternating exotrophia addressed you need to see an Eye MD that specializes in adult strabismus (strabismologist often called pediatric ophthalmologists almost all do adults).  Lasik is NOT a therapy for your type of eye muscle problem.
