Melissa I love you. I remember as a kid listening to my great aunt mumbling something while we were all eating breakfast. She didn't have her teeth in. My dad said "she's talking to you." I said "how was I supposed to know? She was looking way over there." I believe karma came back on me cause now I'm in my 50's and my eye looks like Bill Cosby.
I saw your video and started doing the exercises. I had already tried the patch and everytime I took it off my eye drifted right back to the way it was. I love this exercise. I feel normal. I may not act it but I feel it. 😂
Your eyes are beautiful and so straight! My first thought was, how does she know how it feels? And then you put your photo, dear me! Thank you for your time xx
Hello ma'am thank you for this tuturial about exercise strabismus treatment..this is like my left eyes problem..so I'm a poor..and I don't have money to do make a surgery..so i want to try this exercise god bless you..and more power thank you So much.. watching from Philippines...
hey, how you doing now?
The doctor I went to told me she can’t help me. But ur giving me some hope.
Keep looking! Some doctors aren't trained to help us, our job is to find that ones that can! Go to strabismussolutions.com/findvt/ and I can help you
thank you so much this saved me
hey, how long were you doing it?
That was awesome!! Much better than using a pencil.. I was just asking "why can't I use my hands instead of a pencil" and bam, your video comes up. Thanks!!
Excellent! I love the feedback that you can get when using your hand.
It is a form of "Yoga and pranayam" 🇮🇳❤️
You’re fantastic and this is so helpful. I’ve a slight lazy eye that turns inwards esp when tired, and doing this exercise I see only one pinky. I patched when I was a kid and have worn glasses since then (for computer/reading) since my parents didn’t feel too comfortable with surgery when I was a toddler (wore glasses since 10mos). Had an eye doc recently said he’s surprised at how my vision is essentially almost perfect, and that my left eye has just relied so much on my right. More of an aesthetic issue for me than visual. Will look into your consultation-your vids give me hope!
I'm so glad you are feeling some hope! I'd love to meet with you and help you find some options that can help moving forward!
Can I ask you if it worked?? I have a slight lazy eye that looks up and I want to make both of my eyes symmetrical bc I am a little insecure so please tell me if it worked for you
Yes, update please🙏🏼❤️
My daughter 8 years old had little strabismus hardly noticeable. We went to an optometrist and she was told to wear glasses and do patching for 3 months. We did. Things improved then 2 weeks she was not wearing them and her strabismus went really bad! We went to another doctor optometrist, and she prescribed stronger glasses and advised against patching. Her strabismus improved little with glasses, but without glasses, it was worse. So now I m waiting for an appointment with other doctors and after reading reviews here I m thinking maybe I should not do any glasses as the things get worse!
I forgot about this one. Good tip! My double vision is so bad today that when I try this, I see two whole hands at first. If I really concentrate hard, I can finally see one thumb and switch to one pinky if I hold my hand still at a middle distance. If I move my hand at all or move my head at all, or stop concentrating, I lose it. Trying to do this for more than a few seconds at a time, especially if I'm trying to follow it while moving my hand, I get a headache.
I can really feel the muscles around my eyes, especially the ones between my eye and my nose, really straining when I do this. It can hurt if I keep trying for too long. It's not easy for sure.
I was born with double vision, but my eyes didn't look obviously 'different' from normal. The main way it showed was that when I was a baby, I never tried to look at my nose and when someone would try to hold something close to my face, I wouldn't cross my eyes trying to see it like most babies do. How it really showed was when I would try to reach out and grab or touch something. I would usually miss it. I almost always missed if I tried to catch something. When I was a toddler, I didn't try to walk and just crawled everywhere until I was almost two. Even then, I was pretty shaky and fell down and bumped into things a lot. Didn't have any depth perception.
On top of that, I was born with frequent high fevers (like high enough to cause hallucinations) and a mysterious hive tumor, so those took precedence until my family finally found a specialist who figured out how to help them cope with keeping the fevers down and to keep the hives from flaring up. Never did find a cure for the hives. They decreased enough by the time I was four that I wasn't having the frequent high fevers anymore.
Once the hallucinations and waking nightmares stopped, my family noticed the problems I was having with seeing more. They took me to an eye doctor when I was five who did a bunch of tests on me and figured out that the muscles around my eyes and the nerves that controlled them were weaker than they ought to be. It was especially the ones that move my eyes from side to side and especially the ones for my left eye. When you look at me, my eyes seem to be more or less looking the same way, but they don't. My left eye tends to look a little bit more outward when I'm trying to look straight ahead.
My eye doctor prescribed a bunch of eye exercises and glasses for my near sightedness. This was the late seventies, so they didn't suggest special glasses to try to help with it like they have now. They also didn't suggest eye surgery because it didn't look as severe as it does for some people with strabismus so they thought I could control it with exercises.
It took three, almost four years of doing the exercises every day (and what a grueling, un-fun experience that was for a five year old - and my parents) before I saw any real improvement. I finally got to where I could read, do math problems on paper, and sort of do activities like throwing things where I was aiming, catching things, dribbling a basketball, etc. I never got good enough at any sports, other than long distance running, to be any good on a team, but at least I gradually became slightly less clumsy.
I have had to do the exercises the rest of my life. I got to where I only needed to do them on a once or twice a week basis by the time I was in college. I even managed to pass a driver's test and drive a car, as long as I only did so when I wasn't the least bit tired or ill. If I'm tired or not feeling well, I can't control the double vison well enough to drive.
My double vision is getting worse again over the last five years because my nerves are damaged from having hyperparathyroidism, so I'm having to do my eye exercises more often. I'm also looking into special glasses for it if that's a good idea.
Thats quite a life... I just turned 18 and noticed that my eyes weren't pointing straight ahead, i knew there was a problem with them from quite a while now, but now it seems more noticeable..
There isn't much of a deviation yet, nor do i have much double vision at all, a little bit may be.. im just worried if it gets worse over time...
By the way gramps, how's life going
Hey Gramps, any advice for an 18 year old?
I’m not sure if I’ve had double vision since I was born, or if it was using the 3D feature on my 3DS when I was 4. I think it was noticed at that time though, then I wasn’t able to use the 3D on the 3DS anymore just in case it made my eyes worse. Me and my dad liked to say “one eye is looking at you, one eye is looking for you.”
When I was around year 6 I think AND IN CHRISTMAS, I ended up getting a surgery on both eyes to try and fix them (it was originally just going to be one eye, but I think they couldn’t tell which one the weak eye was, or they were both weak lol) (oh joy). So couldn’t see for like the first day or so after, needed eyedrops at least once a day otherwise my eyes were stuck shut together while it healed.
It did work for a bit I think, it stopped my eyes from being wonky, but after a while the double vision came back.
My dad’s talking about if I should get surgery again to try and fix the double vision, but I’m very sceptical about it. It didn’t work the first time, I don’t like surgeries
I dont like surgery either. I think I will stick with eye exercises to help.
Why focusing through the lazy eye makes me sleep?
I am 24 years old. At the age of 16, my vision became very difficult. When I came to the eye doctor, I had myopic astigmatism. The left eye -5, the right - 4. At the age of 20, the minus in the left eye increased -7, the right eye remained the same. I also have a slightly lazy left eye, the eye muscle is slightly deviated towards the nose. I really wanted laser correction, but I was refused, because the astigmatism is high. I need a phakic lens operation, but I can see well with glasses, and my doctor didn't recommend it either, it's not in a hurry. By the way, about my lazy eye exercises. The doctor didn't say anything... because I have high astigmatism, there is no point in doing exercises, but if I do the exercises, will the discomfort ease a little?
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU SAVED ME ILY
Did it work? Please respond
This help me!!! Thanks 🙏🏾
Thank you
Tysm for this
How long should we do this to see improvement
Very helpful video
and those beautiful ocean blue eyes 💝💝
New subscriber here from Philippines 😊. I cant afford surgery so from now on i will do this exercise 😊
There is an amazing vision therapy office in the Philippines! Fill out this form and I can send you the information: strabismussolutions.com/findvt/
Thank you so much it helps me! I've been bullied alot for having a lazy eye but thank you it helps!😭
Are u still getting bullied? R ur eyes officially straight ?
Does it works really
Is it better to do these exercises sitting in front of a plain wall so the surroundings don't interfere with our depth perception?
That definitely makes it easier at first. But it's actually great to do this in a room with other objects and practice opening your peripheral vision while doing the exercise. I created a course that can help with that part! learn.strabismussolutions.com/mastering-peripheral-vision
I am 82 and l was operated for strabism at the age of 8 by a doctor Whittington who was apparently a pioneer in this kind of surgery. Once a week my mother took me on an hour’s journey to a hospital where l spent a while doing eye exercises on one of those machines where you have to get the ball in the bucket etc. l actually enjoyed doing them and was very assiduous. The right lens of my spectacles was of course covered. The day of the operation arrived and l think those exercises really helped because l was the only child in the ward ( there were about 6 children in all) for whom the intervention was successful. I was lucky, but often wonder if l could have healed the condition just by exercising with the type you show here. I still feel myself squinting occasionally when l am tired and l seem to have a slight squint in some photographs. I was a rather ugly child because of this and was greatly teased! 🇬🇧🙏
And you are 82?
So my story is:
I got traumatized so bad my right eye started becoming mildly lazy. So I band aid my left eye shut to strengthen my right eye. It also doesn’t help that my left side is my good side so subconsciously I show my left side more. So the muscle tissue is a lot stronger on the left. I’m training to use both side cohesively. It also doesn’t help I’ve been hanging out with people in the car then sitting face to face.
Make sure to work with both eyes open to help the brain develop binocularity. learn.strabismussolutions.com
Should you see two no matter where the thumb is positioned?
Yes. There should always be one where you are looking and two of the finger/thumb you are not looking at.
Hello . Thanks for this video. How many times a day should we do this? Is there a plan? If there is, please tell me
Have been wearing eyeglasses since kindergarten at 5 years old, now 56. My left eye has always turned outward, and when I was a child, I was told I had eye surgery where they supposedly cut a muscle in my left eye to help turn eye inward some, but to this day, it is still really turned outward. What's interesting though, is for quite awhile, I was unable to afford prescription eyeglasses, as I was self-employed and had no insurance, and during the time I was without eyeglasses, my left eye Strabismus became more symmetrical with my right eye for some reason. Not perfect, but far less noticeable. Sometimes I feel eyeglasses only worsen your eyesight, as opposed to improving eyesight. It's like a bandaid fix but the underlying issues causing vision problems are never seemingly treated with eyeglasses, but in some cases, only worsened. My vision now is worse, after wearing glasses for the past seven years + daily, than it was when I went without them all that time. My strabismus is worse now than I think it's ever been, at least I've never noticed it this bad anyhow. I only see one pinky with the trick you provided. Is there a frequency you recommend doing the trick to improve strabismus. I subscribed and look forward to your other tips as well.
Most vision therapy offices recommend 20-30 minutes of daily eye exercises. I would recommend going to in-office therapy. You can find an office at strabismussolutions.com/findvt/
Hello Miss.. I have a 6 year old child.. he has a right and left eye like yours before it healed.. I feel sad when someone makes fun of him.. what I want to ask is how long does it take to do training or therapy like the one you gave as an example to recover to a normal eye like the one you have now?
OK,OK,OK,OK,OK,OK!
I though that something in my eyes isnt okay,but i see 1 thumb and 2 little finger when i focus on it!
Btw,I see little bit a double in a background.
That is great! Sounds normal to me.
thanks you so much
Hi, how long were you doing it?
I didnt know that there are exercises for this. I did not pay attention to my condition until someone point it out that it almost didnt go back to its original position. It was not worse when I was younger so I really dont know what happened. Hopefully this exercise will help me.
I was struggling to see double when doing this especially when I was younger, I even flexed that I only see 1 not 2(it was embarrasing)
Wow
This exercise is done after wearing sunglasses or without sunglasses...??
know you some dynamic exercises (several directions at the same time)? thank you
There are so many different exercises. Make sure to check out my website for other options. strabismussolutions.com/
I have -2.5 left and -3.5 right sometime my right eye move in the outward direction what should i do people make fun of me in the school 😔
Great info
How long do you do these exercises daily?
I do them about 30 minutes every day, but you'd need to ask your optometrist what would work best for you. I can help you find one at strabismussolutions.com/findvt/
I can see two pinky but not two thumbs any suggestions
Thanks for the tips! I change my pinky to index finger cause its easier
That is the beauty of eye exercises, you can experiment and adjust them to work for you!
Can somebody explain me how to do the exercises? I didn't understand the process correctly. My English is weak
While you were explaining the doing the exercise side to side around 3:29 you kinda moved your head. Was that intentional? because usually they tell you to keep your head still and only move your eyes while doing eye exercises. Also thank you for this video as first I was a lil skeptical of the exercise as it just seemed like basic pencil push ups but it's definitely a lot more then that and there's way more feed back for your eyes.
You're welcome for posting this! I definitely didn't intentionally move my head. That is just what happens when I try to talk and do exercises at the same time. My vision is still not perfect.
Do you know if this exercise works for inner eye turn?
Is it effective 😢😢
Can it worked on adults too ??
Hello, after doing these exercises, is it normal that I feel a bit headache?(is it because my eyes are not used to looking at an object like this and needs time to get used to it?) It would mean a lot if you reply:)
I do get a headache from time to time after exercises, but if you relax your eyes, it isn't nearly as bad. Eating healthy also makes a big difference with the side effects.
How many years have you been doing it?
i mean the exercise
I just cant do it :/ no matter how hard i try.
Hello, this is great to see that you're replying to all the comments.
I had a question. When doing this exercise, I see 2 thumbs and 2 pinkies. But I believe I look at the thumb with both my eyes.
I think I'm at the same stage as you are in this video 😋
I had surgery about a month ago and have to ask my brain to look with both eyes. (Get double vision lol)
Do you happen to know the reason of seeing 2 thumbs and will this exercise help fuse the images?
This means that both of your eyes are working, but they are not pointing at the right place. Try moving your hand closer or further and notice the space between your thumbs changing. Do they get closer or further apart? Somewhere there is a point where they line up. You find that place and then work from there. Are you in vision therapy?
I have the same issue, but my images never merge at any place, but closer to eyes it seems to merge.
Is it possible to fix strabismus without surgery?
Yes!
Hey should i do the exersises with my glasses or without them
I would use the glasses. If they have prism, you could eventually try without them to strengthen your eyes.
While Doing this exercise, i am focusing on thumb and at background seeing two pinkies but one of them is blurry…i am doing it correctly?? Kindly Respond!
Sounds right. One of the fingers being blurry is a sign that you are dealing with amblyopia.
Hello, excuse me, I have a question. What happens is that I suffer from the same strabismus with lazy eye. In the United States, there are specialists on the subject who can help me with vision and deviation.
I also have outward strabismus, do you think it goes away?
And I would appreciate it if you could tell me how much it should be done as a set.
You can definitely fix exotropia with vision therapy, but it will take more than just one exercise. If you want help finding an office, go to strabismussolutions.com/findvt/
Thanks for this but I don't seem to get it. It seems difficult.
Maam i have hidden squint... Suddenly my eyes turn outwards ... And i was done vission therapy also ..but my eyes not fix ...wht should i do ? Maam plz reply me...
Also, if I close my right eye (eye without Strabismus) my left eye that is turned outward with both eyes opened, becomes more centered as it's supposed to be. Quite a scary trick to play with small kids. but quite concerning from a vision perspective. Replaced glasses last year and my Optometrist simply said, "Wow, that left eye is really there isn't it?". Never gave me any tips or anything I could use to improve the condition. The glasses prescribed brings my left eye inward slightly while wearing them, but it's still nowhere symmetrical with right eye, with or without the glasses.
Hi Jeff, unfortunately, your story sounds extremely familiar and there are so many others who struggle with some of the exact same things. I will say that usually glasses help, not hinder, unless there is a lot of prism. There are SO many exercises that you can do to help your situation. The video coming out tomorrow gives some basics. Have you subscribed to my TIP Tuesday email yet? That could be great too! strabismussolutions.com/
Thank you for your information ♥️.while doing exercises my both eye ball shake rapidly is that normol or not please help me with that ♥️🙏
I don't really know about that. I would definitely find a great developmental optometrist who could help you figure out what is going on. If you go to strabismussolutions.com/findvt/ I can help you.
I have mild strabismus on left eyes. I can't able to focus both eyes at the same time . When I focus on my left eyes , it is different ( perspective) than right eye . Can you help me ?
It sounds like you could benefit from vision therapy to help your eyes learn to sync together. I can help you find an office at strabismussolutions.com/findvt/
Hi, I’ve had two surgeries on my eyes, to fix the squint and then to fix the double vision, which was one above the other. I still got a bit of double vision but one above another, predominately when I’m standing up and looking into the distance. Do you know any exercises for that. Thanks 👍
I have a few exercises that I do to help with vertical strabismus. It is very complicated and I would do it with an optometrist. I can help you find on at strabismussolutions.com/findvt/ They will probably give you prism in your glasses as well which really helps with vertical strabismus.
Is this excercise applicable for any ages?
Yes, but a young child may not understand the concept. You should check with a developmental optometrist before doing it though. Find one at strabismussolutions.com/findvt/
What if you can’t move your left eye independently and it only follows what your right eye does.
my problem is the vision in my right eye isn't nearly as good as my left. had a operation as a child was cross eyed in my right eye, they straightened it out and now as a 49yr old my right eye is to the right side like the pic you showed of yourself. since my vision isnt that good in that eye only way i can control it is to close my good eye :(
That is exactly what happened to me! It takes a lot of work, but it is so worth it!
Hey thank you for this good information. I have a little squint in my right eye since I was 4 years old .does ti can be cured by this pencil push-ups. Bcz there is no vision therapy center in my area 🥺
Minor cases can be fixed with simple pencil push-ups, but most cases require a much more comprehensive approach. Where are you from? There is vision therapy around the world, but it is expensive.
Hey please answer my question when i see the thumb the thumb is single and the pinky is two the eyes is correct or incorrect
I find this difficult with my thumb and finger. But with two pens I have no or much less trouble.. ! So maybe this is difficult or not so good exercise.. to show for yourself ?? I don't know ..
That is interesting. I don't really know the answer to that, but it's a great question for your doctor!
I find it difficult to concentrate on my thumb.. I think that's my problem.. I think it's because the pinky is very close to the thumb.. But I tried it again this time.. And i did better. Let's go on.. ! Thanks for your answer.@@strabismustostereopsis7799
For how long every day we gotta do this
I'm blind in my left eye and it has strabismus. How do I train the eye that can't see. It only has about 10% of vision because of retinal detachment
That requires someone's advice that is more specialized than me. You must strengthen each eye in order for them to work well together. I would recommend doing exercises with one eye at a time until the weak one because more strong!
My daughter has same problem and her age is 14 . She suffered from this after ETV surgery for hydrocephalus
Has she been to any vision therapy or had surgery?
I see two thumbs or pinkys but I still notice that my lift eye is aligned higher than my right
Try opening up your peripheral to see the space between you and your hand and to the sides and that can help. My Mastering Peripheral course would be helpful. learn.strabismussolutions.com/mastering-peripheral-vision
I try to do this exercise and I feel no success. When I try to focus my eyes on my thumb, my vision gets blurry. Please respond.
It takes time and I definitely recommend going to a vision therapy office.
Thank you for sharing this exercise method. I have a question: whenever l move away my hand while looking at my thumb, my pinky finger appears double, but the distance between two pinky fingers keeps reducing. Is it normal?
Yes it is normal!
I can pretty easily see two pinkies but can't see the two thumbs at all! What's going on?
Try holding your hand closer/farther away and see how it changes things. Open your peripheral and don't try to force it. learn.strabismussolutions.com/mastering-peripheral-vision
What if my eyes drift outwards when I’m looking far in distance? What would you recommend for exercises ?
That is a great question! The big thing is to start working with peripheral fusion and slowly work towards the center. It all depends on where your vision is right now though. Have you been to a vision therapy office? I can help you find one at strabismussolutions.com/findvt/
@@strabismustostereopsis7799 I have the same issue where my eyes are great at closer distances but shift outwards when looking far, do you have any videos for this or is it recommended to go to a therapy lesson?

Usually a different type of exercises are needed for alternating strabismus like you are describing. My course learn.strabismussolutions.com/mastering-peripheral-vision can help you with some foundational pieces. In-office vision therapy is ideal.
Hello there. I wanted to ask that can eyes be completely treated with only vision therapy, without any help of eye surgery. My lazy eye is not very noticeable but i cannot see in 3D and cannot focus when being photographed. That's why i am here. So without surgery can i achieve 100% of correction?)
Thanks for your reply beforehand
There is never a guarantee of 100% fix, especially with strabismus. But you can definitely have major improvements. Usually eye turns less than 15-20 diopters can be fixed with therapy alone, but larger angles need therapy and surgery. Of course, there are exceptions both ways!

I am an 18-year-old, and my left eye is significantly weaker compared to my right eye, and my doctor says that I have minor exophoria. Can I prevent it with these exercises? Will this condition worsen as I age? I am really worried about it!
Hey, it sounds like you are figuring out how your vision works. You can definitely make improvements and if you do nothing, it could get worse over time. Vision therapy would be amazing for you! Find an office at strabismussolutions.com/findvt/
Omg this is terrible advice. Most people have exophoria. These exercises will not help with that. Seek professional advice if you experience double vision. It is unlikely to get worse
Yes, you were right, physiological diplopia. : )
Yes! I love it when I'm right. lol
Is there any issue if i’m going to do this one week or so after the surgery for intermittent exo or it’s too soon?
there’s still some exodrift left (at cover test) and I’m thinking that maybe I can fix that
This could be great, but it might hurt if your eyes aren't healed up yet. Maybe give it 2-3 weeks.
@@strabismustostereopsis7799 thanks
Thank you. I am a Korean with exophoria. I think it's a useful practice method. The astigmatism is -3.50 diopter. I heard that lack of control due to astigmatism leads to lack of convergence, so I'm doing control training. This is because we expect it to help with convergence, so do you have an opinion on this?
I'm not sure about the astigmatism. But this is a fantastic exercise for working on convergence!

Should i do these exercises with glasses or without glasses?
Please reply
Do the exercise with your glasses. If you are only seeing one of each then you are probably suppressing the vision from one eye. In-office vision therapy will be the best way to awaken your eye and teach your brain to use both eyes together. Find an office at strabismussolutions.com/findvt/

I am intellectual disabled and wanted to ask you if you could make an interactive eye exercise for me to follow your finger movement and instructions. Hope you have come up with something for me. ❤
I don't make those type of exercises, but there are many on CZcams that you could use if you search lazy eye exercise.

Hi :) Should I do these excercises with my contact lenses or without?
That is a great questions for your optometrist, but. Think most people use their contacts during eye exercises.
Hi there! I have a history of strabismus. I also have a retina that detached I went blind. The strabismus is back now! What do I do if I cannot see out of it and want to practice?

I am confused when I focus on the pinky in the second part of the exercise should I see 2 thumbs?
Yep
Hey, i have one eye thats smaller and the other, & the bigger eye is misaligned, as in its placed slightly upward, do you think these excersies will help me and if so how long do u think it might take? My situation is not extreme but it is noticeable enough to make me insecure, would appreciate a response, thank you.
You can always experiment with it. The is just one of hundreds of exercises I have done in vision therapy. It is a good one though! If you want to try vision therapy, you can fill out the form at strabismussolutions.com/findvt/ and I can help you find an office.
Hey how r you so if you can see 2 pinks from close and far is good news I have a lazy eye to but I can fully control and sometimes it just goes lazy again
That is good news! Keep practicing.
is it possible to cure my vision in my lazy eye for a few months of doing exersices?
It is going to take more than a few months if you have a severe amblyopia. It goes faster for young children, but it is still possible for adults.
Im going to get operation in two days :)
How did you operation go? I hope your recovery is going well.
@@strabismustostereopsis7799 hello. My operation is 100$ succesfulb on fjrat rry. I still have headaches and have a hard time moving my eyes fully on the sides. But i am happy i fan see no moar doible viision after 9 yeares!! :)
@@user-oc3hk5sk9h Doctor told me that strabismus can persist, fresh from surgery. Mine only took a day to adjust.
Researching from other's experience, results could take longer to manifest but with minimal improvements until it fully heals.
I am already on my first week and a day from surgery and despite the persistimg redness of my eyes, the improvements are drastic.
The reason for the pencil excercise recommended by my doctor, so the muscle would not "guard" which could result in our eyes losing the ability to see to the outermost regions when looking through our peripheral vision.
Are you fresh out of surgery?
Is our case esotropia(inner) or exotropia(outer)?
My eyes switch back and forth constantly. At somepoint i can feel like i have both converged with struggle but i do not see double of anything. I cant even imagine what that would look like. Does this make sense? Maybe im not converged at all but i do feel like at that moment i am using each eye equally?
It is really tricky to know for sure what you are seeing without the special instruments from the eye doctor. Have you tried my "Do my eyes work together" quiz? It is free and it might give you some insight into how your eyes are (or aren't) working.

How much does the surgery cost??
How many times and how long do you do this exercise?
I usually do eye exercises for 30 minutes each day. That usually involves 3-4 different exercises that I do for 5-10 minutes each.
is it normal to feel like your eye is twitching ?
i see 2 thumbs 2 hands and 2 pinkies meeting at a point which is my nose 😏
Do you do this with prism glasses on or
Off?
The goal is always to be able to do it without prism, eventually. Sometimes, we have to use aids, like prism, to get there. It all depends on where you can get success.
