when i was in elementary school, i was not progressing as i should have been (in 4th grade, i could not read) so my parents took me to see many doctors when it was decided that i had EXOTROPIA. this condiron is usually found when the child is younger because parents can see that the eye is turned out. because i was older, there was a greater chance that i could lose vision in one eye also the usual treatment of patching or to strong glasses did not work so we went to surgery.
i had my first surgery in the summer between 4th and 5th grade at the university of minnesota faview children's medical center
the surgery worked for about 5 years when my eye started turning out again, so i went to se a new dr, dr watenabie at the st paul eye clinic were he did the same surgery on my other eye
its been 5 years from the second surgery and now i am ESOTROPIC or my eye is turning in. it is virtually unheard of to go from being exotrpic to esotropic.
the original idea was that i was having some sort of muscle spasm, but the treatments for that have not been working, so i got refered to someone else.
during the past month i have had MASIVE changes in my prescription, they show no sign of stoping.
soooo yup.
thats the deal with that
have a good saturday!
