Double vision?!
Question: OK I've had a lazy eye since I was about two. I got the patches and surgery but it still isn't fixed because before surgery my eyes were crossed. So the surgery/patches corrected the crossed eyes, but it's still lazy eye. I had the surgery and all when I was young, too.
Anyway basically my eyes don't look in the same direction and don't move together..it's like they operate separately. Say if my left eye turns left, my right were will stay straight forward and vice versa. The only time my eyes are aligned with each other is when I look straight ahead. But I CAN "stretch" the eye muscles to look semi in the same direction but not naturally. And when the eye looks left and the other one straight I can tell it's doing that because I'll actually see straight ahead out of my right and to the left and out of my left eye.
Would any surgery correct this and allow my eyes to move and see together?
Also, what exactly is double vision? Is it when you see the SAME image TWICE? Or is it what I

Double vision when you see one thing blurred or twice, or maybe even two objects at once. Lazy eye is something totally diffrent - with lazy eye one eye is actually lazy and it looks lazy and moves slow which has the tendency to move inward or outward. My twins and myself had lazy eye surgery (strabimus). one of my daughters had the surgery twice, their eyes are good - one better than the other. But all in all it turned out great for them because they don't have to go around as beautiful teen age girls with crossed eyes.So it is worth the surgery.
