Single Eye Person is Struggling

Please see an ophthalmologist or an optometrist. Eye doctors are familiar with this condition and will explain what they can and cannot do.
I, also, was born with amblyopia. Doctors have explained that the brain rejects the double images our eyes are sending, The stronger eye begins to dominate while the other gets weaker. Eventually, you become dependent on just that eye.
Good luck to you.

I have strabismus since birth. 3 muscle surgeries - each 20 yrs apart . Left eye dominant - no visual disturbance until I had cataract surgeries. Now I have visual disturbances. I too have lower vision in my non dominant eye but once the new lens was implanted the visual problems began for me.
Very frustrating. Now seeing an adult strabismus specialist. They’re not many of them around as this is a childhood condition

I hope someone can offer some feedback to me. I am 54 year old male with a left amblyopic eye that never developed useable sight. The eye has no lens. There is a suppression scotoma that is present centrally and continues to nasal side. Just left of the scotoma there is a small amount of discernible vision, but barely finger counting at 2 ft. distance. What little bit my left sees is. mostly in its medial periphery. Well, for the past 34 years this little bit of information has been causing diplopia (binocular type, compliments of my left amblyopic eye).
I am at the point where the daily struggle to cope with the visual confusion is causing MUCH distress. Closing my left eyelid provides instant relief as does wearing a patch. However, the absence of the peripheral information the left eye provides makes seeing the world with one eye difficult and disconcerting. I feel between a rock and a hard place.
Can someone offer me some encouraging advice? Between the diplopia and presbyopia, I am feeling visually exhausted from the moment I wake up.

I have strabismus from birth. 3 muscular eye surgeries. I have some vague amblyopia in my right eye but am very left eye dominant. Then I had glaucoma and cataract surgery. My right eye decided it could see better and created “visual disturbances “ like it’s trying to see double but not quite. I’m seeing an adult strabismus specialist. ( they are the only specialist that really can help with this condition) Have they prescribed eye glass prescriptions that have prisms in the lens?

The visual disturbance can be very tiring on the brain. I am becoming visually challenged. My right eye has been doing all the work my entire life but my left eye for the last 30 years has been encroaching a second , blurry and misaligned world into my field of vision. I never developed sight in my left eye so there is no. medical way to develop sight. However, the confusion is wearing me down. My right eye is so tired and lately looking around is a confusing experience when a tired right eye and a problematic left eye are trying to work together. Have you tried occluding your right eye with a patch or a lens?

I would like someone to help me describe to my doctor what I am going through and hopefully find some answers. I am in my 50s and my left eye had a congenital cataract when I was born. All they could do then was to remove the lens (as I was told) and they left a white-looking growth remain in my left eye. It became amblyopic, no central vision developed only some peripheral vision with is very blurry. The white matter that remained in my eye provided a block from the eye seeing anything but what was in the periphery (towards the ear).

Fast foward to my 18th birthday, my now deseased mom took me to a doctor who did a YAG laser treatment on my bad let eye and proceeded to burn away the white matter in the eye, leaving am opening that in his estimation might help me see something [a very bad decision which I not greatly regret allowing]. In the ensuing years, I have gradually developed diplopia because the left eye, due to the YAG, has developed some awareness of vision in the off-left-center.

Now in my 50s, I am in so much distress because of the visual confusion caused by my left eye. I have tried to cover it up with a patch, but accustomed to the input of light entering my left I struggle to see with my good right eye. I am on anxiety/ depression medication because of the distress that has mounted over this through the years. My optometrists thinks I should be able to ignore the visual insult of my left eye, but this is not possible for me. Now my vision is fatigued 24/7 and I feel so tired and run down. The onset of hyperopia has not helped either. I have also become a bit farsighted in my good eye. So, between the bluriness and the intratible diplopia, I deal with chronic fatigue in the back of my head, neck and shoulders.

I need help and there is none so far that has provided meaningful direction. I am ashamed to admit that as weakened as I feel, I need someone to hold my hand because I am so beat. Can you provide some guidance to me?

I am 70 years old and has lived with amblyopia since birth I assume. I didn't realize I had a lazy eye until school age. Doctors said amblyopia is a condition which requires surgery before the age of 5, before the muscles are completely dead per say. Tried wearing a patch over my right eye to strengthen the muscles in my left eye. That was a disaster, as I could not see the blackboard in 1st grade at all, and on top of all that, I was teased by the other kids for wearing a patch. I was also very crossed-eyed and was teased and taunted for that as well. My left eye always dropped into the corner. Kids would ask, "do you see two of me?" I prayed that if I never obtained vision in my left eye, that I would be freed of the crossed eyed-ness! (if that's a word). Well in my teens, maybe around aged 14, my left eye began to straighten itself, however, whenever a picture was taken of me, the flash from the camera caused the left eyeball to drop back into the corner again. It would straighten up once the flash from the camera was gone. So I didn't like to take pictures with my eyes open.
To this day, I've always worn corrective lenses. My vision in my left eye has never improved. Vision in my right eye is 20/20 or better due to hard work, but I am clinically blind in my left eye. My driver's license is restricted to "daylight driving only", as the oncoming traffic light from other cars stymies my vision in my left eye since I still have my peripheral vision in it. I just wish there was something I could do to correct this, especially the night vision, because even with the corrective lenses, I still have problems seeing at night while driving.
Open to suggestions.
