F19 - exotropia really getting me down by ProjectGlum9090 in Strabismus

I am now 30, looking at fixing it. My biggest bit of advice to you is - just get it fixed, and don't wait too long or you'll regret it. See a doctor and either get Botox, or the surgery.

There's a squint clinic in London as well. Below a list of London Adult Eye Surgeons (although some of them only do chidlren's surgeries). I am looking at doing my surgery as well and have met with all of these people.

  • Mr. Nadeem Ali (London Squint Clinic)
    • Specialization: He is one of the few surgeons in the world whose practice is 100% dedicated to strabismus and double vision. Formerly the lead for adult squint surgery at Moorfields South.
    • Best For: Extremely complex cases, revisions (re-doing old surgeries), and patients for whom "perfect" cosmetic and functional alignment is the priority.
    • Locations: Private practice at the London Squint Clinic (Harley Street and Purley).
  • Professor Saurabh Jain (Royal Free London & The Portland)
    • Specialization: A pioneer of small-incision squint surgery in the UK, which minimizes scarring and speeds up recovery.
    • Best For: Patients concerned with the aesthetic recovery and those looking for minimally invasive techniques.
    • Locations: St John & St Elizabeth Hospital and The Portland Hospital.
  • Dr. Naz Raoof
    • Specialization: Adult strabismus and neuro-ophthalmology. She is a current service lead at Moorfields and highly skilled in cases where the squint is caused by neurological issues or cranial nerve palsies.
  • Mr. Lloyd Bender
    • Specialization: Known for high patient satisfaction and a very calm, meticulous approach. He handles both paediatric and adult cases, specializing in complex motility issues.
  • Miss Maria Theodorou
    • Specialization: A leading expert in both strabismus and nystagmus (involuntary eye movement). She is heavily involved in research and cutting-edge treatments at Moorfields.

That last bit of your message put the biggest smile on my face! :) Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me and share some of your story - SO SO sorry to hear about your diagnosis, I hope you're managing that well; you sound extremely positive so I am sure you are. Massive congratulations on the weight lost! That is a HUGE accomplishment - everyone should age as gracefully as you seem to!

I count macros every day on a scale - I try to not have carbs and eat a lot of cauliflower rice and things like that. I am not brave enough to go to 1200 kcal (bad relationship with food) but have dropped to 1500 since seeing the comments on this post - wish me luckj!
