So they were only able to align my eyes but i have no movement in my right and also it is a lil higher then my left. So still get people looking at which makes me feel unconfortable. I started a foundation to help children and adults with strabismus. plese look me up on Facebook The Yeah Foundation Inc or the Causes page Support Strabismus and Fight Blindness or email me at tjohnson@yeahfoundationinc.org Anthony,

And if you read other posts on this blog, you will see we advocate exactly that. Not fighting to put others down, but fighting to rise above the trauma our eyes have brought in our lives. Many can also benefit from surgery or vision therapy. Some states in the US have assistance programs to help with surgery for those with low income, at least they did before the healthcare crisis. You would have to research your particular area. Absolutely, lian! And if you read other posts on this blog, you will see we advocate exactly that.

I know how it feels. Normal people cannot understand us. The pain we have to endure through our lives is unbearable, yet we still have to live on. I believed all of you must have been taunted by classmates(teacher as well) , workplace, you name it. Yet we have to be strong(or just pretend)to continue our lives. I had done a surgery at young age but the problem recurred. Now doctors recommended surgery for both eyes. I am still hesitating as I am afraid of any side effects to my normal eye( surgery can affect eye movement). I have strabismus. I know how it feels. Normal people cannot understand us.

I have suffered for the past 3 years. although i was born with this condiction, I was told to wear glasses to correct the appearance. High school was pretty bad as i got teased for wearing glasses and eventually I dropped out, as I couldn't stand the name calling and constant back stabbers. I then refused to wear my glasses and i got more positive male attention. It did boost my confidence. my eyes stayed straight for maybe 3 months. Then my eyes started to turn again, I couldn't bare to wear my glasses all the time and would often break down crying because I felt so ugly, I still do. I have naturally beautiful curly hair, but because of my eyes, I cut it and wore my fringe over my right eye (even when i was going out for meals and wanted to look nice, unfortunately strabismus is taking control). This didnt help as I then got made fun of again. By adults this time! They would laugh at me and make remarks in front of loads of people, it made me feel terrible. I was also born with cerebal palsy, which makes it difficult for me to insert contact lenses. Im a 16 year old girl who just wants to live her life. Have fun taking silly photos with her friends (i hate photos of me) and be happy with herself. Im hoping I will recieve surgery. So I can relate to a lot of the stories here. Comments welcome =].
