3 days post op (intermittent exo)

Thought i’d share my progress so far! I had my post op appointment yesterday and my surgeon is super happy with it, there wasn’t even anything for them to measure which is amazing.

Because i have intermittent strabismus it’s a little hard to compare, but in my after picture that is my eye fully relaxed when im SUPER tired and usually it would be fully out to the side like in the before picture

I’m also healing super nicely with not much gunk or anything and have had my eye open since i got home. It’s interesting to see how different everyone’s journey is so wanted to share mine

Surgery all done!

Hey guys, posted yesterday that i was having my surgery today and here to say it went super well! It’s not too painful more just achy and the stitches feel a bit pokey. Surgeon was super happy with how it went

Also anaesthesia was so easy, last thing i remember was them asking how many drinks it usually takes to make me tipsy and that was it 🤣

If you’re nervous this is your sign not to be coming from a super anxious person :)

Surgery Tomorrow!

Hi all, haven’t posted in this sub in a while but my surgery date has finally come around! I’m feeling quite nervous mainly about what anaesthesia is going to be like. I’m not sure why but my brain has decided that I cannot even be the slightest bit hopeful that this surgery is going to fix my eye. I have intermittent exotropia in one eye because of amblyopia and i also had esotropia surgery at 18 months old which has turned exo as i’ve grown up. Also should add that this surgery is purely cosmetic as my brain suppresses my vision in the eye

I am so convinced it’s not going to work at all, well i guess that is a good thing as i won’t be disappointed if it doesn’t, but I am still happy im giving it a shot! My surgeon has told me he’s confident that it’ll work enough that the only people who will notice is me and him which i’d still be happy with that outcome!

I’ll keep you guys updated!
