I am 13 years old. I am cross eyed on my right eye. How can I make the eye normal?? I dont want laser for now.

Answer 1

You need corrective surgery probably...they'll probably go in and tighten up the eye muscles

Messin' w/ your eyes isn't a good idea...don't just throw a patch on w/out a visit to your eye doctor. Take their advice....they are an eye doc for good reason! :)

I had eye surgery to correct a lazy eye when i was 18...it wasn't so bad, and insurance covered most of the costs....it was an in/out procedure. TRUST me it'll be worth it!

Answer 2

You probably have two issues that are of concern. One is the direction of your eyes. The other is the quality of vision in the crossed eye.

Binocular vision requires alignment of the two eyes. The brain uses the two images to create a single image and to determine depth perception - the ability to know how far away an object is. A misalignment of the eyes is called strabismus and can be naturally occurring or caused by disease or trauma.

If the eyes are not properly aligned the brain gets misaligned images. This provides poor vision so the brain starts to rely on only one eye for "seeing" and ignores visual messages from the other eye. This is called amblyopia. In infants and adolescents, amblyopia can cause the brain to virtually shut down the images coming from the misaligned eye, leading to low vision quality or functional blindness.

Patching is a very common method to reduce the probability and adverse effects of amblyopia. One eye is covered for a period of time, forcing the brain to use the uncovered eye. Then the other eye is covered, requiring the brain to use both eyes, one at a time. This keeps the brain from shutting down either eye.

It is vitally important that patching be performed in the very early stages of strabismus, especially in the first seven years of life. Once the brain begins to ignore the images from one eye, vision is not likely to be able to be restored.

Laser eye surgery such as Lasik cannot restore vision lost due to amblyopia, nor does Lasik align the eyes.

Surgery on the muscles that align the eyes is sometimes able to correct the misalignment. If the misalignment is small, glasses with prisms may be able to align the images.

Answer 3

If you had strabismus - lazy eye - it would have been noticed by a responsible adult by now and you'd have already been to the doctor for proper treatment...and by the way, there is no laser therapy for lazy eye.

Answer 4

The only remedy for this is surgery on the muscle of the eye. This is not laser surgery.

Answer 5

Has your eye always been crossed? If not, it is VERY, VERY IMPORTANT that your parents take you to see a doctor IMMEDIATELY. If your parents can't take you, tell a counselor at school, anyone....... Really, if your eye just started crossing out of the blue, you really, really need to see a doctor.

Answer 6

You could wear either glasses or contacts.
