View 2 RepliesEyes :: Squint And Itchy Eyes
I have this squint since childhood. My eyes move outward. It happens a lot when I'm tired or try to look quickly at something, It was diagnosed early and I was asked to do a regular exercise with pencil. I had to Keep pencil in front of my nose and look at it and then slowly move the pencil forward and repeat it several times. The later I was given glasses and it improved it a little but then again it got as it was earlier. My vision is 6 by 6. But its just I don't have proper control over the muscles. They seem to be aligned but when I'm tired or move eyes they go outward. I wanted to know how it can be permanently corrected. It just disturbs me and I always feel a stress on my eyes. I have this irritation over eyes too and itching which makes it even worse. How it can be treated or it can be operated? I guess it would be easier with operation and I would go for it but I was asked to do exercise and told that it will stay but will get better, It was 30 degrees.
View 1 RepliesEyes :: Squint From Birth - Eye Exercises
I am 29. I have squint from birth. I squint my right eye occasionally to focus far objects. I can see the near objects without squinting. I have 100% vision in both my eyes. In my childhood I had my one eye patched to strengthen the muscles. Also I had some eye therapy. Since I was a child I did not take the therapy seriously. So I still squint. I was thinking of getting a surgery to correct this. Now after reading these comments I have decided against getting a surgery and search the internet for some eye exercise.

View 1 RepliesEye Disorders :: 2D Vision And A Squint In Both Eyes
I was born with 2d vision and a squint in both eyes. Also have monocular vision.
I have had 6 operations, 3 on each eye to correct eyes.
I believe that my right eye is getting worse. Vision wise, and squint too.
I only had my glasses changed last November, then only 2 months ago. And Already is my right vision with my new glasses getting worse again. That's only 2 months.
I am seeing someone this Tuesday about it as my optician thinks it's to do with my squint and hitting my head as to why my vision is getting worse.
I was just curious as I am struggling with stairs. If I don't know the stairs I have to hold on and go slow. Like yesterday was in a shop and the stairs was all the same wood, I thought I was going to fall down them as I walked up to them but didn't prepare myself, the feeling is horrible feel like you're on the edge of a cliff. If I know the stairs and they are not too wide. But also my question is, can I drive? I drive now, but have always said I struggle.
Eyes :: Squint Operation - No Improvement
I'm 30 yrs old and i have a left-eye amblyopia. I undergone squint surgery last year's August. My eye barely improve and i really feel very down because i was expecting my eye will be at last okay but it didn't. The surgeon said it will require my right eye (which is okay) if i want further improvement in my left eye. I want to know what's will be the downside once my right eye get operated. Please help! My surgeon doesn't talk too much aside from telling me what else i need to do. I really wanted my left eye to be aligned correctly as greatly as possible. I suffered too much.
View 2 RepliesEyes :: Squint Vs Poor Vision
Actually my 8 months baby girl started squint her left eye inward from last 2 months. In start she do this rarely but now it's increasing day b day specially when she focus on far objects. Today i visit to Dr for her checkup and the Dr suggested her nearsighted glasses.
I am actually confused that her squint is due to her poor vision? or due to poor vision she squient her eye?
I mean poor vision and squint are two different things as i know. right?
Why she only squint when she focus on long distance objects?
Eyes :: Squint Surgery And Recovery Times?
My daughter had surgery on Monday for intermittent exotropia. Surgery went well, however as expected Surgeon has over corrected eye. I know this is to be considered favourable but am wondering how much over correction is ok as the pupil is now sitting almost in the corner of inside eye. At our follow up appointment surgeon said let's wait and see how she is in 2 weeks as the eye area is still very tender and she is not wanting to open it at times. I'm ok will all this as I understand it's a big thing for the eye to go through and it needs time to heal and see if it will settle in place over time and allow spasms to stop. My daughter also still has double vision 3 days later how long can this last? and I'm wondering if you would share your child's experience after surgery?
View 1 RepliesEyes :: Squint Clears Blurriness In My Vision
For the last two weeks my left eye has been blurry. I don't remember hitting it or scratching it. Sometimes a do rub my eyes but nothing has come of it before. In the last two weeks I've noticed the blurry vision for objects mostly far away. My 20/20 vision is now a lot worse when I close my right eye. There has been no pain or itchiness either. Today in class the blurriness was bothering me quite a bit, so I started playing around with the skin around my eye moving it left and right. I noticed if I moved it the right way(closer to my nose) my vision would clear up. Then I tried squinting hard with both eyes(right is closed, left is slightly open) and my vision was clear.

View 6 RepliesEyes :: Squint Corrected With Botox - Double Vision?
I've had a squint all my life (30 years) had two previous surgeries that did not work. My right eye turns inward.
Recently I was referred to hospital for Botox treatment. This was carried out 9 days ago.
My eye is now straight. (Yay) I am however suffering from double vision when I look to the left and what I can only describe as slight 'ghost' double images (not constant) that seems to appear randomly and when looking in any direction,
Has anyone had Botox and experienced something similar? I'm just looking for reassurance that the double vision will pass and I can continue with the Botox treatment?
The botox kicked in 3 days after it was administered so I've only had double vision for about 6 days.
Eyes :: Sports With A Squint - How It Affects A Child's Routine Activities?
my son is 4 and the hospital told us he will never use his eyes together because of his squint. can anyone tell me how squints affect their ability to play fast moving sports such as football, squash etc.. We were thinking that if he only uses his eyes one at a time, then he wouldn't see someone approaching from the wrong side. Plus he wouldn't be able to judge when the ball was arriving.
We are reeling at present because we have been under hospital care for all 4 years and only now are they telling us he won't use both eyes. the suggestion is even if he has an operation to correct the squint, it will only be cosmetic.

View 1 RepliesHypothyroidism Congenital :: Born Without A Thyroid
I am a normal, healthy 28 year old with a beautiful 8 month old daughter - I was born without a thyroid (picked up on the heel prick test introduced in Wales 82) and have been monitored all my life and also have been on different dosages of thyroxine throughout my life so far! My daughter is absolutely perfect and has thankfully not got CH. I was fine at school (a bit of a daydreamer and a bit forgetful) but I still came out the other side with 11 GCSE's, 3 A-levels and a degree! We are no different to any one else, as long as we are on the right dosage and judging by the way that I've been monitored, this shouldn't ever be a huge issue!
View 1 RepliesSon Suffered From Eczema About A Month After He Was Born
I have a son that has suffered from eczema about a month after he was born. I would say to this day he learned to walk at the young age of 8 months so he could get to better objects to scratch himself. He was and still is covered in it, however it is not as bad now as it was when we got to six weeks old. At six weeks my son did not have a patch of clear skin on him, his hair was stuck to his head so you could not even brush his hair (it would bleed if you did), he had lots of creams and was bandaged from head to foot!! as the years have gone on his skin has not got much better. he can brush his hair now!! However the amount of bullying he has suffered, the weight he has put on (maybe a bit of depression) this all contributed to another problem from the weight gain his hip basically is coming apart so he has had to have it pinned and is now in a wheelchair, this will be for some time as he is due to have more surgery. But my lovely boy still to this day 14 years on still has a smile on his face and we have a good relationship. in my sons words. horribly painful, waking up with fresh cuts, never a good night's sleep. the picking on. people think you should stop scratching but you can't when you are asleep, The constant itching, the creams hurt and don't help. blood over clothes and bed sheets. my son suffers every day, he also has very bad asthma he gets hay fever, but on the whole stress triggers it off. he did live on a diet of just salad and fruit it helps for a while. But the bullying got worse and that triggered it back off again, now he won't have salads at school even though it helps and he likes them. We count ourselves lucky we have each other to lean on and get through it, He has the help of his brother, unfortunately his dad found it hard to cope with so he is not around much. We do not have much family support as we live in New Zealand now. But my son is very bright has a wonderful whit and is a kindhearted young man in the making and that is what keeps us going.
View 4 RepliesIdiopathic Intracranial Hypertension :: My Daughter Has BIH
My 12 year old daughter had had headaches for some time and her endocrinologist advised her to have an eye test. I say 'endocrinologist' as she was born without a thyroid gland (extremely rare) and she's been taking thyroxine since she was 10 days old. She's also monitored for her hypothyroidism. Anyway, between her doctor's appt and her eye test, she got her first period. So we blamed her headaches on her development. The ophthalmologist said that my daughter needed to increase her lenses. So again, we put her headaches down to this. By time, her headaches moved down to her neck and 4 months later, at another routine eye test, I mentioned this and the ophthalmologist decided to look behind her eyes. He was horrified to see extreme swelling of both optic nerves and a swollen brain. She was admitted into hospital and had a CT Scan done. Luckily there were no tumours but a lumbar puncture showed that her CSF pressure was 50 (it should be 15-18). She was immediately started on diamox 250mg (acetazolamide). After a few days this dose doubled. Today she has just had her 6th lumbar puncture and as the pills don't seem to be working - her CSF pressure is on the rise again, her medication has been increased again. She's taking 2g per day (750mg-500mg-750mg) daily, which i think is too much for a child. On the 23rd July she's having her 7th lumbar puncture and also seeing a neurosurgeon, because inserting a shunt seems to be the only solution. Lets hope and pray all will be ok.
