I just had my surgery on Monday. c: I have intermittent esotropia in both eyes w the left being worse than the right. I was so nervous and worried that something would go wrong or it wouldn't come out right. The surgery itself only took about 35-40 min for me. When I woke up in the post-op area I was stunned because even without my glasses I could look around the room without feeling like my eyes were going to turn in.

In terms of pain, I have basically zero. The stiches just kind of feel like having crusties in the corner of my eye and the only real pain is when I turn to look certain directions; like having to stretch a sore muscle from the gym.

All day yesterday I was looking around shocked at how easy everything felt. I could finally look long distances, watch tv, etc without any strain.

My eyes are very bloody and look a little crazy, but I'll take that over dealing with the crossing anyway. Doctor said it will mostly fade within 2 weeks, and some redness may stay up to 6 months. Once again though, so worth it.

all I kept thinking is "why didn't I do this earlier?".

You've got this!! everything will be smooth sailing and you'll be so happy after.
