Turned in eye - self conscious

[SwanShaped]

I’ve had a turned in eye since I was a child. Worn glasses since about 2 years old. Normally, the glasses would straighten the eye when I put them on so it would only be noticeable without glasses or a bit if I was tired. However I’ve noticed over the last few years that this doesn’t seem to be happening anymore and my eye stays turned in even with glasses on. Has anyone else had this? I have an up to date prescription. Optician told me that this couldn’t happen but I felt I was being dismissed. I’m starting to feel self conscious about it in photos and with zoom calls etc. Has anyone tried vision therapy? Or that lazy eye Tetris game? Or had surgery to correct it?

Thanks.

@Rodders92, it was me who posted my prescription up. I've +1 under reading adding on my prescription. Does that means if I wear a pair of reading glasses it would minimise my inwards turn?

Ah, ok. It was someone else who put up their prescription. No idea what mine is as I think I’ve lost the card it’s on. I know my eyes are bad though. I’ve never been able to do magic eye stuff or see 3D films. I might get the odd second of a film seeming 3d but mostly it’s flat. I wonder what binocular vision is like! I always thought I had it.

Sorry I got mixed up with the posts. You are more likely to be longsighted with a convergent squint. If you don’t have binocular vision you adapt so that in everyday life it isn’t a problem, Binocular vision is most useful with things that are fast moving for example a ball coming towards you or fast moving traffic, because you have adapted you can drive and in most situations manage as well as someone who does have binocular vision , people with a squint who have double vision are not allowed to drive unless the double vision is corrected. It is very difficult to explain to somebody who doesn’t have binocular vision what it is like but it is an enhanced sense of depth , it is much easier the other way round as people with BV can just shut one eye. When you see your GP let them know how much your squint affects your quality of life and I would recommend reading this as well www.rcophth.ac.uk/2016/09/squint-surgical-intervention-is-not-a-cosmetic-procedure/

Hi Nets a + add for reading is just added on to your distance prescription. So if your distance prescription is -2.75 a +1 add takes it to -1.75 so it is still a minus lens but a weaker one. The amount of add you need for near increases with age but until you need a +3 add your reading prescription would still be a minus lens. Adding extra + lens that you don’t need will just blur your vision, hope that makes sense
