Strabismus diagnosis and treatment Posted: 04-09-08 15:06pm


I have had a lazy eye since I was young, since my lame typical american lazy eye doctors have done nothing to address this when I was young I am now 25, a full time firefighter and having severe headaches from what I believe to be strabismus. I have pretty decent farsightedness and astigmatism in one eye so for some reason the lord didn't bless me with good vision, but in the last year to two I have had severe headaches which don't go away. I am starting to believe this is from Strabismus. I went to my eye doctor, (who I will never go to again, his answer is to slap me in a new set of contacts and kick me out of the office) yesterday and he said I have a lazy eye (my left) that looks more inward than my right. So having looked online I have found that if I was young I could have surgery but that in adults it doesn't work as well. So where does that leave me I don't know. I am looking for some advice or tips on how to relieve my headaches and possibly a good doctor in Seattle who will actually take the time to diagnose me correct and figure out my problem. Any ideas I am all ears. Thanks god bless
