How much would it cost to correct a lazy eye?!


Question: I have a lazy left eye that I can control ... the lazy eye actually has better vision than my right eye. I actually have the ability to correct them manually, or make my right eye lazy instead of my left ... weird huh? ... anyone know what's up with this?

I had a surgery to correct my lazy eye and it is called strabismus... its a common procedure usually done in children. I too have the same abilities you do correct them yourself ... really all you are doing is unfocusing on any object. Thats something you've trained yourself to do since you were a child... you've learned to cope and compensate for your lacking vision.

You need to get a referal for an opthamologist from your regular optomotrist. Perferbally one that specializes in strabismus...

I just had the surgery in the state of california and it cost (my insurance company) 7,400 dollars. I am sure that varies from state to state and surgery center to surgery center.

I hope my answer helps you!

Im confused at your question...are you asking the cost to get it fixed or "whats up with it"

Depends where you go, the procedure and the seriousness of it. I cant put a dollar ammount. you could try to argue your way to get your insurance to pay for it. dont tell them its for "cosmetic reasons" try to talk to your doctor about any health risk that could be involved with a lazy eye, depending on your insurance they may cover it.
