@roewes07, @ihatediabetes, @rckj, and @avmcbellar have posted about strabismus may have some experience to share with you.

I have had 3 strabismus surgeries. Age 5, 24 and 42.
The later 2 to correct outward drifting of the right eye. I am extremely left eye dominant. My depth perception is fine and there is no double vision. You may never have equal vision in both eyes but with a skilled surgeon who specializes in strabismus you should have a good result. Wishing you the best!

I had it a month ago at Mayo. It cured the problem. I’ve worn contacts for 50 years and didn’t like dealing with glasses. First week after was painful but no complications. 6 weeks in and still sone redness but glad I made the decision to have the surgery now at age 67.

Welcome @janetjezior, Thank you for sharing your experience with the strabismus surgery. It's helpful to hear from members with experience. Do you mind sharing what you were searching for when you found Mayo Clinic Connect?

Thank you for your responses. I am 75 years old and am nervous about the surgery. I need 6 diopters of prism now for correction which is close to the max the physician wants to prescribe. I’m hopeful there won’t be any complications. 🤞🏻
