eyes

Question
 Hello everyone,I've had this prescription for one year.I apologize because the vv is broken on my keyboard. I feel like I see the second image or distorted images at times. It feels like I am hallucinating. My eye doctors intention vvas to get my muscles in both of my eyes to vvork together.She said it vvould get better in time and has gotten vvorse. Im seeing a nevv eye doctor next vveek.I am 39 and have had this lazy eye my vvhole life. I just vvant to knovv if this happens vvith this type of prescription vvhere they are trying to get the eyes to vvork together.I have a lazy eye and have never tried this type of prescription before. My eyes are healthy and no have no damage to them. It seems like from the corner of my eye things pop up that don't belong.It is very nerve vvracking and do you think a nevv prescription might help this? Nothing stays solid vvhen I turn slighlty but nothing is blurry or cloudy.The stigmatism has become more bothersome and even that seems distorted . Thankyou for your reply, Cindy


Answer
Dear Cindy,



According to your history, since your vision has changes for the worse, one needs to rule out other causes and not just put it down to the 'lazy eye'.



You will need to see a good eye specialist, preferably one that is a strabismus surgeon or knows how to deal with eye deviations, prescribe prismatic lenses etc.



If you have any eye report you may send it to dranand@lasikindia.in



Hope this helps,

Best,
