Steven asks…
Treament for intermittent strabismus (wandering eye)?
I have intermittent strabismus in my right eye. It causes my eye to wander slightly when I’m exceptionally tired or stressed. For example, I’ll turn to look at something & my right eye will take a split second longer to move around & focus along with my left eye. It’s infrequent, but it still bothers me a lot. At 23 years of age, I’ve been told by my doctors that it is too late to treat – it should have diagnosed & treated when I was still an infant.
My question is, are there any ways to treat it myself? Any eye exercises, or perhaps wearing a patch might help?
Any advice would be HUGELY appreciated!

George asks…
Do you know any good eye muscle exercises for a person with ”crossed eyes”?
I have not really a ”crossed eyed” form of strabismus, but one of my eyes diverges slightly outwards instead of inwards. It’s very troublesome for me to read even with the current glasses I got now, and I’m ordained to use my eyes as much as possible to train them (without straining them too much).
Do you know any good eye muscle exercises I could use?
admin answers:
If you have an exotropia, it can be fixed with a fairly simple procedure. The surgeon gets them close, the brain then lines them up. See a good Ophthalmologist.
