My own eye moves to the side all the time on its own and I can't get it to focus straight. It is now starting to really bother me although it has been like this my entire life. I am just wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to fix this problem so I can get this eye to focus correctly.

Yes, there is an operation in which they detach and reattach the muscles that move the eye. It is a very simple and quite common procedure, however you may have a type of lazy eye that is more akin to epilepsy and this is brought on by stress or fatigue. The operation is probably covered by most health insurance.

You really do need to get to a doctor. I have allergies that cause my eye problems, but if this just recently turned up you have a problem. Good Luck.

Yes, I actually have one to share. Several years ago I went to LensCrafters to do my yearly checkup and get more lenses. For some reason I could not get the lens on and the doctor became really impatient with me. He tried to put it in but he kept poking my eye and for some odd reason it was like my body was revolting from his touch. I've never had this happen before. Well, he became very rude with me, I don't remember his exact words anymore, and if I saw him today I would not know him, but it was a horrible experience.\n\nLooking back I actually kind of feel sorry for him, because it was a no-win situation. I think if the shoe had of been on the other foot I would have been annoyed too, but I wouldn't of been rude to the customer (they are always right). The woman at the front desk had said he had been rude with other customers so I assume he probably was going through something personal.\n\nIt would be nice to know how your situation turns out though. Perhaps it is a growing trend at Lenscrafters.

Best money I EVER spent.  I also have an astigmatism.  They can still do the surgery.  Depending on where you are, see if you have a TLC (The Lasik Center) near you.  They have 'wave front' technology, which is great for astigmatism.  I had my surgery 2 years ago & it's still great.  The first couple days are a little weird, like your close up vision seems hard to focus, but that goes away.  Also, night time, there are halos for a week or two on lights, etc..  Probably the only annoying thing is that my eyes seem to be more sensitive to bright sunshine, but that's ok, I just have a really cool pair of SPY sunglasses  :)

My nephew had this problem as a young child.  The doctor made him wear a patch over his good eye for a couple of hours a day.  This seemed to help strenghten his lazy eye.

Hello,\n\nAs I am sure you know by now, Bell's palsy affects the VII cranial nerve.  That is the nerve that controls the facial musculature, including eye lids.  So the first question is, do you think you have a normal blinking pattern in the affected eye.  Compare it with the normal eye.  If both eyes are tearing, that is less likely due to Bell's as that is a local and thus one-sided process.  Additionally, the facial nerve carries nerve impulses to the lacrimal or tear glands, so it may be at work here, but again that would usually be a one one sided process. \n\nAs far what to do about the tears...manually blink your eye using the back of your finger at regular intervals, and especially when it feels dry.  If blinking is not a problem, or if the tearing continues, I'd see an ophthalmologist.  Hope that helps.

Found the free eye exercises for Myopia from Wikipedia. \n\nI tried them for few weeks. Showing results slowly - but you need to be disciplined to do the exercises daily. \n\nI didn't follow all the eye exercises sequence. I only pick those that I like. Not sure if that's the right thing to do.\n:)

Well my friend, you can't "crack" an eye muscle. You can damage your root of the eye through disease, like cancer, then your going to go blind.\n   If your talking about a picture you had taken and you don't like it because it looks different, you might have had a bad day, maybe. You wouldn't be able to see if one if one eye was crossed or there was something on this order wrong.\n\n   If you still think you have a problem then I'd suggest you go see your doctor.

I talked to my eye doctor who said that this can work but only if you keep up with the exercises. You have to constantly exercise your eyes in order to keep it going. If you stop, your eyes go back to where they were in the first place.

Not weird at all!  I've been home since 2002.  Started off, the birth of my last child, and now ended off being medical, had a cornea transplant last december and now about to have the other eye done next month.  I am excited that I should have perfect eyesight beginning next summer, but I am estatic that I may be able to go out and get a job.  Mind you, not a career, my family is my career and I had my own graphic design business, but I mean a J.O.B.  As most career women like yourself, we began working so early and for so long that we don't know how to do nothing.  Alright, so find something to do.  What do you do as a hobby now?  Make it your own career.  Do you know, this million dollar 'make a bear' business started as a hobby?  I'm sure there is something that you like to do everyday that people just know its Your knack.  Take it a parlay it into your new career move.  I'm sure making some money on the side wont hurt either! smile, good luck.

I live in Arizona, and never had real problems with my contacts till I moved here.  Now I can't wear contacts at all, they irritate my eyes.  I went to the optometrist and asked what the heck is wrong with me and they said it was low tear production.  Well, to make a long story short, I don't wear contacts anymore but still have dry eye problems, especially in the morning.  In my opinion, there seems to be no really good solution because I feel like I've tried everything (from supplements to visine) and nothing "cures" the problem.  Sorry to sound so bleak...  Hope you find a good answer

Have you been on the computer for a long while?... I use to get MASSIVE headaches and I found out it was because I was looking at a computer screen for too long. Try looking away and focus on something across the room ever 15 minutes or so.

I feel that the United States doctors are going crazy w/ this diagnosis. I feel this is something you can help on you own.  I think that this is a super crazy world w/ tons of things going on in our lives at once and because of this, some of us have a hard time focusing.  You need to practice focusing possibly w/ the everyday use of meditation you could over come this so call disorder.

I have had contacts for about 20 years and still remember first putting them in and taking them out. I have a real sensitivity to things coming close to my eyes, so it was a challenge. The only reason I got them in there was because I had wanted to go without glasses so bad. I had to chase myself around the room...it was pretty funny! There I was with a contact on my finger, pointing at my eye and I was running away from it. Once I got the contacts in though it was just a plain unreal experience, to see things clearly without looking through those "jail-cell bars" (frames) gave me a euphoric feeling. From then on it did get easier and easier to get them in and out...For the 20 years that I have had contacts I never had a problem. The only way that you can tell that they are in is by the way everything is in focus...Unless you have you have dry eyes, but there are drops and sprays for that. You really have nothing to worry about. Don't be a goof like I was. I learned that if I use one hand to hold my eye open and the other to put the contact in while I look away, it is no problem. Just keep in mind whatever the reason is that you wanted to get them in the first place and you'll be golden.

Gaming can be very harsh on the eyes! The light from the screen causes a lot of damage to the eyes and it may end up being serious. To avoid more trouble try to limit your gaming time. I know that is hard to do, especially now that it is summer, but to save you vision, I'd calm it down a bit! Go play outside some more! I get Migraine headaches which are a lot like over exposure to iridescent light....you start seeing spots and you get really dizzy and light headed. Then a stomach ache follows along with a POUNDING headache. I lie down for awhile and drink a lot of juice and the spots usually fade away. I also take Tylenol or another form of medicine. I am not sure if this will help you or not, but it is worth a try. Good luck to you and your brother!

How long has this been going on and have you ever consulted an eye doctor about it?  It could be allergies, but it could also be a sign of an infection, so you really should get it checked out by your optometrist or ophthalmologist.
