left eye is small than right eye

[thoseshades]

My left eye gets smaller than my right eye like every month or every other month.. then it gets back to its regular size in an amount of time. Then my eye goes ' cross eye'd ' when this happens.. It's really annoying, can you help me out?

Hi Dr.

My current Dr.to whom I refer every 3 months who has operated the cataract surgery 2 years ago, is a retina specialist. He has the my file in hand since that time and vision reduction I am referring to has started a few months ago. Its notable that I take Preservison pills My Dr. says totally its unlikely to see any change in retina at this age. Its also notable that I feel reduction has applied both far and near vision and night vision as well. Actually I think the amount of light gets into my eye has been lowered. Additionally, before undergoing surgery I could cover my left with right eye while walking as my left eye has no vision. Now my vision field is also notably rduced.

My Dr. at that  time told me: if you undergo the surgery you will trade off the improved vision with higher vulnerability to retina detachment by injury so I should be careful more than before.

you need to see an Eye MD ophthalmologist. Try and take some pictures of what your eye looks like when its smaller and when its larger, take some pictures of when its crossed eyed. Then take 4-5 good facial photographs take 5-10 years ago so the Eye MD can see if there has been a change.

ALSO do not let the technicians put any drops into your eye till the Eye MD looks at you. If possible see a eye muscle (strabismus) special Eye MD or  a neuro-ophthalmologist.Eye MD. You can find one at www.geteyesmart.org
