Adult lazy eye question?!

Adult lazy eye question?

I am a 34 year old male with a lazy eye. I have had it all my life and have tried many things to correct it including wearing the patch over one eye when I was a kid, which did not help at all. When I was in college, I got contacts which seemed to at least help the appearance of it. However, now I feel like I am having another problem. My eyes have a real difficulty focusing and I have the constant urge to want to roll my eyes. Could that mean it is getting worse? I was also curious to find out if surgery as an adult is an option to correct it(I never had it as a kid because my mother was against it). Thanks.

"1. Your Family doctor with your pediatric history
2. Neurologist to determine any causes
3. Opthamologist and not an optometrist (gives you glasses only, no treatment) so that you can get treatment for your eyes if the neurologist has ruled out anything on his end."

no. if you already know you have amblyopia, a trip to the neurologist is a likely waste of his/her time and your time & money. and i certainly would not do that before getting an eye exam.

plus it is not true that optometrists provide "glasses only". optometrists do all kinds of treatments, just not invasive surgical procedures. i'm a little biased but IMO the optometrist should probably be your FIRST stop, even before the "family doctor" and certainly before you go to a neurologist.

your symptoms indicate that you probably need some kind of vision correction: glasses, contacts, surgery, etc. but it does not mean your amblyopia is "getting worse"...thats not possible in an otherwise healthy adult with known amblyopia. it cannot "get worse" at age 34 in the absence of some other problem. you likely need glasses/contacts/etc IMO

surgical correction may "straighten" a cosmetically "turned" eye, but at age 34 it is not going to "fix" any amblyopia (amblyopia being reduced best-corrected acuity from lack of proper retinal development).

get an eye exam. thats an excellent place to start IMO
