VRT only adjusts the one eye. Not the other "good" eye. So it sounds like you may have VRT depending on which muscles he is moving with an additional on the...
I think he said he was going to weaken the muscle in my good eye. And when he was measuring me up my Duane's eye, he said he had to measure how much he had to...

In my layman's understanding, MRR stands for Medial Rectus Recession and involves weakening the medial muscle so the eye "relaxes" into central alignment. No...

Thank you guys for your support. I'm trying not to be down and out about it. I do yearn so badly for it and to just feel confident in myself. I see my PO in...

Christoph and anyone else who knows: Does the increased retraction that is "usually seen several years past MRR" also happen after an MRR that is done as a...
My understanding is that it does not occur. The VRT moves active muscles to pull against removing the likelyhood of retraction. Additionally, when I asked...
To be honest I think a simple muscle relaxation would work for me as my eyes had straight alignment for my entire life until around 2005/6. So the doctor...
I agree. It might cause her a little bit of pain and distress, but it won't compare to the pain and distress the eye will cause her later in life. This coming...
I would suggest that if you don't have confidence in your PO, then you should search for another one, even if it means travelling some distance. On the other...

Corey- I can totally agree. I try and look at the ground or make it a point not to make eye contact with someone. It's definetly ALWAYS on my mind. People...

Well I had surgery on 4/17. If you seen him before that he probably wouldn't have mentioned anything. I do have confidence in him. I knew that this was sorta...
