My son is cross eyed, was anyone here cross eyed as a child? Does it ever go away?

Eyes crossed in when I was little, had surgery to correct it now one of them goes out and up. Apparently my brain never learned how to use them together so I use one at a time

Can’t you get another surgery? How old were you when you got correcting surgery?

bad genes, get a vasectomy

I go crosseyed when yuor sun gives me the succ

18 months I think then I wore eye patches as a kid. I could get another surgery but it wouldn't actually make my eyes work together just have the one I'm not using look straight

How old are you now, when is it too late to get better?

Is he a small baby? Neonatal strabismus usually goes away. Babies will intermittently have some strabismus, and that's normal. It it doesn't go away, he can develop something called amblyopia. Basically the brain gets tired of trying to interpret signals from the fucked up eye and shuts it down. Then his vision is fucked forever. There are usually surgical options to fix this, or eye patches over the good eye can sometimes help (forces the shitty eye to git gud and quit slacking). Discuss these things with your pediatrician and bring it up with each well child visit so it isn't forgotten.

If your kid is already older, then it's too late and his vision is fucked.

22 now. Pretty sure it has to get taken care of pretty early like before 10 but I'm no doctor. If you ask me the patches were stupid because it taught me to use each eye individually and not together.

After age 6-7 it becomes questionable. By age 10, you're pretty much fucked.

Patches work in most kids. You're a just a mad genelet.

Lmao alright, 6'3, blond, blue eyes, white, 99 asvab, ill take a loss in the eye department

Also, the pediatrician should be checking red reflexes at each visit with the ophthalmoscope. If he doesn't, ask him to. Don't bother seeing nurse practitioners. They're okay for diagnosing colds. They're not good for actual health surveillance shit and noticing subtle (but major) problems.

Only brainlets even find themselves in life circumstances that require taking the asvab in the first place.

eye color means jack shit when people can't even look in your eyes properly

>using the asvab to stroke ego

just stop

I have a seven year old and a four old who both have it although Im not cross eyed the gene skipped a generation and they got it from my father

I’m a third worlder, our doctors aren’t that good and told me to wait till they turn 18

Wtf, they're fucking their vision for life. Amblyopia is largely irreversible after age 10. You have to do something now. See a real pediatrician. If you can't, research amblyopia yourself.

This is a real fucking problem. You can't "just get surgery later". It's like letting an ice sculpture melt into a puddle on the ground then trying to put it in the freezer after it's melted. This is a process that is irreversible. Lifelong fucked up vision. You need to start working on this shit TODAY.

No it never goes away. It's got to do with your brain and not eye muscles. Surgery will not work and is just cosmetic and will actually make the situation worse.

I’m considering taking them to Europe

What you looking at m8?

look into vision therapy.

Make enough money to (legally) move to a country with better doctors. You chose to have children in that 3rd world shithole, you deserve what you get.

I think there is a procedure you can have where the small muscles in the eyes are cut. I've seen it performed on a small child on tv but it was performed in the UK and I'm not sure it's available in your country.

Mutt cope
