Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 people always accuse Mike of not paying attention when they are talking as he can't look directly at them... his eye wonders he has a stigmatism... besides lazy eye Lois Lazy eye question > Can anybody else control their lazy eye?

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 Hi Rosemary! I don't think one can control a lazy eye. If it's the whole eyeball itself either surgery or if a young one a lens with prism may be tried but i think opthamologists prefer surgery. If it's the pupil itself, then the cond. is called a phoria, or tropia if it stays and doesn't return. There again a lens with prism may be indicated. Doubtfully surgery. I'm not a doc but an Opthalmic Assistant so can't guarantee the info. Best to see am Opthamologist. They know about the optical symtoms of NF-2 if Rigo's Mike has it.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 Ok, so is this a stigmatism then? He can control it, have no doubt. But sometimes it happens involuntarily. It is the eye with tumor. > Hi Rosemary! I don't think one can control a lazy > eye.
