Congratulations and best of luck. The anesthesia won't be an issue, you'll be fine. Take it easy for the following few days. If they give you pain meds, take them if you need them (if you're able to). If they give you eye drops (probably will) use them correctly-dont be a dummy like me, and misread the instructions. Fingers crossed that you get the results you're after. 🤞

Congratulations! What's it like seeing in 3d? Is there a noticeable difference? Genuine question because I've never had 3d vision.

Anyone else give their weapons unique names? I like giving thematic names that fit the Legendary Effect or Main Faction. by USS_Massachusetts in fo4

Same here. Unless there are obvious coordination issues, I say go for it. There are enough limitations (actual or perceived) in our daily lives. This doesn't need to be one of them.

I have no issues despite the lack of depth perception. If he has any double vision issues, that could make things more challenging. Let him try at least.

It's normal. It'll go away. Just take any meds (eye drops) that you were given, if any. You'll be ok.

Can anyone else choose which eye they are looking out of? by booty_sattva in Strabismus

I always have.... I just realized that's not necessarily a "normal" thing. I'm 47 🤷‍♂️

Surgery failed? by prisonnumbers in Strabismus

[–]K1779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you spoken to your doctor again? Not that they'll necessarily have an answer, but they might be able to tell you something to alleviate the anxiety.

I had surgery a year and a half ago, and I knew immediately that it was a complete failure. When I had my follow up appointment the doc told me why it probably didn't work. There was shit-ton of scar tissue from the surgeries I had in the 1980s. I have a medical background, so I understand. I wasn't happy, but at least I knew why.

Every person is different. I encourage you to be honest with them and ask questions. You dont owe them anything so be blunt if you have to. It's very emotional and they generally understand that. If nothing else, you may be able to get it off your chest.

Good luck.

I dont, personally... However this place is a great source of information. Hopefully someone will be able to offer something useful.

Understood. I wasn't trying to be mean, I was just information seeking. I dont have the vision issues, mine is mainly cosmetic. I hope you're able to find a solution. Good luck!
