Welcome to Strabismus to Stereopsis! My name is Melissa Daniels and I am here to open a dialogue about strabismus and all the fun that goes with it.
I was born with strabismus and I have had 4 strabismus surgeries, patched for a total of 7 years, worn prism glasses for 10 years total, done vision therapy for 2 years and tried all sorts of solutions in between.
If there is a program, therapy, or product out there for strabismus, you can bet that I have tried it. Some have been AMAZING, others a total waste of time and money.
I'm creating this channel to educate the world about what I'm learning to save you a ton of time and resources.
And when your journey gets hard and you feel alone and like nobody understands what it's like to live with strabismus, I'm here to support you and give you the boost you need to keep going!

Due to a childhood eye injury my left eye turned outward. Over the years my vision as the vision in the eye worsened my eye began to turn inwards. Now it’s completely turned as far inward as possible. I’m so self conscious of it.
Hi Melissa i dont see any youtube video about polarised glass vision therapy, how do i set up this for training, is it available in amazon to buy
Thank you so much for answering my question, I am so glad that you are doing so much effort for helping people ❤❤❤
Is it 100% guaranteed to amblyopia with no strabismus in adults if i do visions therapy, I only have 80% vision on my right eye
to get vison with training, is it possible in adults
Is it 100% guaranteed to amblyopia with no strabismus in adults if i do visions therapy, I only have 80% vision on my right eye
Thankyou for taking my question. I feel better prepared to talk with my doctors now.
How to fix
Literally very creative and economic mam🌻
Hello can you recommend any eye drop after strabismus surgery because my one already 1 year after that surgery but still have a little bit redness..
What if my left eye is now blind because of istrabismus? What surgery i need?
How was your vision in your two eye?
Opticians always told me that it was unfixable, going to do patching for a bit and see if it gets better
My issue isnt so much my vison. Its how it looks, one eye looks normal an the other shows like my eyelid 😔
does prism glass make the eyes clear?
Woowo dont know how this video has relived me am facing the same problem thought iwas going to remain like that thanks alot love ❤❤ from uganda Africa
Hi I’m also having strabismus too and your videos are really a great push for me to get surgery Today I’m going to get a surgery I don’t know what’s gonna happen Hope it turn out good 😊 ❤
Thanks so much for the video, and did you have similar vision in both eyes or were they different? Can you please answer?
Hi Is that true that the strabismus surgery is cosmetic surgery? because it won’t fix the vision so it means the insurance won’t cover it? My strabismus is caused by virus or infection since I was a kid so it caused my left eye’s vision blurry so even if I do the strabismus surgery it won’t fix the vision but will straight my eyes so insurance won’t cover it. Plz answer my question thx
My son (17 months)first procedure was botox. We had a follow after 3 weeks. His right eye moved from 20 to 12.. dont understand everything but there was improvement in straightness and how they work together. He also performed a lot better on vision picture card task. We are waiting to see if once the botox is out of his system the improvement remain. In the mean time we do patching. We have a follow-up to see our options. Im glad i came across this resource
Do you know if this exercise works for inner eye turn?
hello😊 I am Japanese and live in Tokyo. I have strabismus and am thinking about surgery. I watched your video, and it was very helpful. Thank you for the video. I have watched it many times and am very grateful to you😊😆
I've been having weird dizziness when driving and it's gotten really bad. I've went down the dizziness rabbit hole from cervicogenic, to pppd and a whole host of other things. Then sunday I realized my left eye is a different blurriness than my right and found BVD. Then I found out how much the test is 400 and the prism glasses are 1000 lol So here I am doing these exercises. God I hope it works. I NEED TO DRIVE! THANK YOU!
Is it effective 😢😢
Dear, how many exercises should you do after eye correction surgery?
Huh?
What country did you did this surgery
Hey! I love the attached article though it didn’t really give too much specific advice for folks like me who need to constantly and completely cover an eye, long term, due to double vision. What would you recommend then?
I think an adult would be bored playing games like the ones in these apps. Tell me, is there a VR player that can adjust for strabismus angles both horizontally and vertically? This way you can watch interesting videos and train to get binocular perception of the image at the same time?
My husbands 1 week post op he had surgery on both of his eyes and his right eye is turning inward again on day 7 post op. He is so depressed and sad 😔 I wonder if I need to communicate to his doctor or wait until fully healed ?
I love the polarized exercises, problem is I can never seem to find one to do at distance. 🙁
Im glad your healed. I pray your happy
How much time it took to recover or to be normal??
4-6 weeks
my seven surgery done but now i also can't see from my one eye and my eye niw also got little any solution please😢
You would benefit from vision therapy to train your brain to use bot eyes together.
I’m having mine on Tuesday and I’m very nervous
I hope your surgery went well!
You are so beautiful ❤❤❤ really
I have amblyopia. with corrective lenses I am able to get 20/20 left eye and 20/30 right eye. I dont have strabismus i actually did when I was little the right eye was looking off ngle when my left eye was looking straight. But that fixed itself as I grew up. My issue is the actual qualitiy ov vision and vision clairty/acuity. Will patching/vision therapy be able to possibly improve my right eye vision clarity/acuity even if its not to a perfect level? Do you think I would be able to eventually turn the 20/30 in my right eye to 20/20 with consistent vision therapy and pathcing. I just need my right eye to see as clear s the left eye.
Vision therapy could make a huge difference. Especially in improving how the eyes work together. Patching probably won't make a difference at this point, I'm guess you patched as a child? Now your brain needs the work to use the eyes efficiently together. Find an office at strabismussolutions.com/findvt/
Do you think vaccines can cause it?.My child developed a lazy eye around age 2 it vanished thank the Lord .I just wonder if there could be a vaccine connection?
There are many people who have wondered that! That wasn't the case for me, but who knows? The brain responds to stress in a lot of different ways.
Hi Melissa , im from india and i have lazy eye, i only have blurred vision, because the VR games are expensive when combined with the price of meta quest 2 it stop me from spending too much money on games because there is no guarantee that it can improve my eye sight, so is there any free games or a long trial period games like for 90 day which i can try on meta quest 2, i tried with red cyan 3D glass but the color is very disturbing so i would like to try on VR
That is a great question, keep your eye out for a video response.
looks like it still does it LOL
Adult Onset estropia, been through 2 years of VT with improvement. My question, How to know when/if you should try surgery and the risk factors for adult onset?. (no other medical issues caused my strabismus, it was bad prescription and bad visual habits.) I know its a question best left for medical professionals but I have gotten a lot yes and no from them and I feel petrified by mt fear of making it worse. The whole situation has destroyed my mental health.
Hi, @rawstmv, so relieved that there is another adult case of esotropia out there! I developed it for the same reasons as you, no physical pathology, and I’ve done VT for 3 years with Syntonics. I only had esotropia when I was tired, but it became constant after using prism glasses. Stopped the prisms and I am improving. Surgery doesn’t fix the cause of esotropia so try hanging in there with VT. Melissa gives us great info on exercises too!
@@joannepollak5843 Did Syntonics help? Its the only thing i haven't tried
This can be so tricky! Keep your eye out for a video, I added this question to the list. The short answer is that if it is intermittent, I always recommend at least a year of vision therapy first. If you are still having issues, especially in the distance, a little tweak on one muscle might be the perfect solution for you. There are no always or never answers with strabismus. You can book a call at strabismussolutions.com/consult/ .
I had eye surgery for this when I was 4 🙂 I still feel like my eyes aren't the same, and in photos one usually looks smaller than the other, but I don't think other people notice it
awww, I'm glad it has helped!
Does it help to improve your vision?
I have a slight upward squint in my right eye. It is noticable in pictures. Can it be corrected with these exercises?
Yes
Maybe not these exercises alone, but they could send you off in the right direction. You can find an office for a full VT program at strabismussolutions.com/findvt/
So, is there any effect of vision weak issue after surgery?
I have left optic nerve hypoplasia in the same eye I have strabismus would these benefit me ?
15% vision in my one eye
That is a condition I am not familiar with so I can't say for sure. I will say that even those with a nerve palsy are able to get great benefit from vision therapy. You wouldn't get to perfect vision, but you could learn to optimize what you do have.
Does everyone have adjustable sutures?
No, it is based on the surgeon and how they do the surgery.
My right eye operated in December 2023 but the redness is still there ...do you know any cure treatment
That seems like a long time. Maybe there is an eyedrops that could help? Have you tried Arnica? I don't know about this one, I'd ask the surgeon.
What is your vision now?
20/20 in my left and 20/25 in the right.
How do i contact you on instagram, what is your instagram ID
