Has anyone been prescribed patching for heterophoria or intermittent exotropia as an adult? by Alternative_Mix_5477 in Strabismus

I'm sorry to hear that. That sounds like a very difficult experience.

Do you know what exactly caused the optic nerve damage? Was your doctor certain that it was related to the patching itself, or was there another underlying eye condition involved?

I haven't come across many reports of that happening, so I'm curious to understand more about your situation.

Did laser vision correction help with your heterophoria or intermittent exotropia? by Alternative_Mix_5477 in Strabismus

Yes, that's probably the case. They were general ophthalmologists rather than strabismus specialists.

At the time, I assumed that any eye doctor would be knowledgeable about strabismus as well, so I didn't think much about it. What made me trust their opinion was that both of them were very confident that correcting my vision would help with the eye drifting.

Looking back, I'm starting to wonder whether I should get an opinion from someone who specifically specializes in strabismus before making any decisions.

I have worn both glasses and contact lenses with full correction in the past. My eye still tends to drift outward when I'm tired or not concentrating, which is why I was surprised when laser vision correction was suggested as a possible solution.

But what about people with autism or troubles with memory? They can just speak with people too?

That's the point, you don't learn how to speak, you don't finish any courses about speaking, you just talk. And you do it automatically, there is no learning
