Hi,
my daughter is 6years old and has had a squint since before she was 2. She wears glasses and has become increasingly dependant on them as her prescription goes up. At the age of almost 4 she had squint surgery to keep it staight when wearing glasses. I have done lots of research and have spoken with eye specialists and it seems that LASER EYE TREATMENT is the answer. as long as your eyes are pretty staight with glasses then laser correction should work brilliantly. The down side is you have to wait until your 18. Good look!!
And remember in the meantime you need to try and get your eye to be straight with glasses.

i had a squint since the age of three, te first operation had messed it upand made it worse, but a year later i had another one and it was okay but when i got to he ag of about 14 it got really bad, solast year i had an operation again and the reslts were brilliant.. im really happy with it.. so i suggest for best results, go private ! good luck

Hi, I have had a problem with my left eye since I was born. My left eyelid appears to be attached to my jaw. When I yawn, chew, sometimes just when I talk, my eyelid goes up – a lot higher than my right. It has effected my confidence, I dont like to eat in front of people and although I am sure everyone has noticed it, I never speak about it. I have looked it up on the internet and think it is called Marcus Gunn syndrone or Jaw winking. I have not found out anything about a cure about would be interested to knoe if anyone has has a similar experience?

im 13 ,with permission from my mum.

Hi, Im 15 years old and i have a lazy eye, my right eye turns in and i hate it. I hate having pictures taken i never look people in the eyes as i know mine will not be straight. i should wear glasses but do not wear them as i hate them + i will never wear them ever again however my eye gets me really down i feel i cannot do all activities i get really embarrassed and shy. it really hurts when someone calls me "cock eyed " or "Boggle" i am not a very confident person and have a very low self esteem. IS there no Surgery i could have i dont care how painfull it is or what the risks are. i have already wrote but felt i hadnt put enough in it

hi i am 15 and i have a squint. on the day of my 7th birthday i had an eye operation to stop me having a squint however last year it came back and my eye started tuning in while the other one looked normal so i was refered to manchester royal eye hospital and they gave me a pescription for some new glasses ( i wear glasses and have done since i was 5 )and i went back a few months later and luckily my squint has reduced to only appearing when i am tired and sometimes when i take my glasses off

I want to share my experience about my squint and subsiquent surgery and hopefully give some of you the confidence to go under the knife. I had a squint from birth and my right eye turned out considerably. I had surgery when I was 5 but it came back during my teens worse than ever. I suffered it all through school until my girlfriend nagged me enough to go and see the doctors. I had been told in the past that there was nothing more they could do so I had been putting it off. They gave me the botox treatment but it didn't make much of a difference. I opted for the surgery and was probably more scared than I have ever been in my life. Its a year on and my eyes are perfect. I no longer get people staring at me or doing a double take when I talk to them and my confidence has gone through the roof. If you are in 2 minds about getting it done go and see someone. I wont tell you its not painfull afterwards but what is a week or so of discomfort for a lifetime of happines. My only regret is that I hadn't read something like this before and had it done sooner. Good luck

Hey. im now 14 years old and my left eye goes right into the corner towards my nose. i have had ops in the past but the doctors are not sure that there is anything else they can do. it really gets me down and upset. i hate having to look people in the eye because my eyes look really different

Hi I'm 37 yr female, married i've had a squint for being young, i've had 2 opertaions once when 5 and the other 26.Now at 37 with a very stressful job i've notice more it's worse than ever. It doesnt help at work with the looks and laughs from grown up older than you and there little marks like cross eyes. I'm known as the girl with the wonky eyes which totally drepresses me. It would be fantastic to walk into work and stand at my meetings and not hear comments or see the faces that people make.
