How much would it cost to correct a lazy eye?

Q: I have a lazy left eye that I can control … the lazy eye actually has better vision than my right eye. I actually have the ability to correct them manually, or make my right eye lazy instead of my left … weird huh? … anyone know what’s up with this?

A: I had a surgery to correct my lazy eye and it is called strabismus… its a common procedure usually done in children. I too have the same abilities you do correct them yourself … really all you are doing is unfocusing on any object. Thats something you’ve trained yourself to do since you were a child… you’ve learned to cope and compensate for your lacking vision. You need to get a referal for an opthamologist from your regular optomotrist. Perferbally one that specializes in strabismus… I just had the surgery in the state of california and it cost (my insurance company) 7,400 dollars. I am sure that varies from state to state and surgery center to surgery center. I hope my answer helps you!

do contacts correct strabismus or lazy eye the same way glasses do?

Q: i just got contacts a few days ago. i have not really worn them because im worried that they wont correct my lazy eye the way my glasses do. my eye doctor said that the contacts don’t have prisims in them like my glasses so what does that mean? and will the contacts correct it or will you be able to notice it?

A: Prism in the lenses of glasses is used to change the way the lenses bend light passing through the glasses. This causes the images we see to shift left, right, up, or down, depending on the direction the prism is placed in the glasses. For example, if someone has a strabismus (a lazy eye), the two eyes can be looking at two different points. This causes the brain to become confused, and may cause double vision or suppression (your brain “shuts off” an eye and ceases to use it). To correct a “lazy” left eye that tends to drift outward, prism is placed in the glasses in such a way as to simply shift the image the left eye sees outward, so it can view the same image as the other eye but remain in its resting (outward) position. This eliminates the brains confusion! Contacts will not correct this because they are unable to add a significant amount of prism to them. Any prism that is added to the contacts causes one edge of the lens to be slightly thicker and rotate to the bottom as it sits on the eye (which is one way they stabilize contacts that correct astigmatism).Whether it will be noticeable or not, I can’t really say without assessing it myself. My thinking is that if your eye doctor felt comfortable prescribing you contacts and not correcting the lazy eye, then it may not have been terribly bad and you will do just fine without prism correction!
