Question:

I have a 'lazy eye.' Can I get it sorted privately? (I'm in my 40's)?

If I were to have it sorted out privately, how much would it cost?


Answers:

my daughter has a lazy eye too, i have been told that if by the age of 7 it is not sorted out she ma have to have an operation to shorten the muscle on the one side so the eye is straight.

The cost will probably be different for each person, it depends on the extent of the squint. I have looked on the internet and Bupa do it for between £1,800 - £3,100. This site will tell you some of the costs in the UK:

Here is a site i found that tell you about squits and the other possible treatments that do not involve surgery, you may want to try them first. Sometimes surgery does not work, so your eye may not be functional at all after it.
