I thought I was the only one.. my confidence went away when my lazy eye got worse

I have had lazy eye my whole life, it sucked getting my pictures done in elementary school and being made fun of. Now that I'm older it has got a little better but never goes away and you still notice it in pictures. This video is such an inspiration! Thank you for being so transparent and honest. Love you!♥️

My 8 year old son loved watching this video, he's had this surgery twice so far & he thought it was so neat that he could relate to everything you were describing! He  calls you his "twin" 😘 So glad your recovery is going well 💜

fellow lazy eyed sister here 🙋🏼‍♀️ had the same surgery when i was 3. followed by getting drops in my eye everyday, having to wear a patch on it all day for a year or so, and also eye exercises on the computer. i feel your pain girl.

I've had a lazy eye since I was 6 years old... I want to get surgery but I am so scared. This video really helps me feel better about it

Thank you so much for this video, I’m actually crying as I type this. I have suffered with my lazy eye for 29 years, the bullying, the jokes really hurts but I’m so glad I have come across someone like you who has the same imperfection as me and isn’t scared to show her face. When celebrities abs people do the cross eye pictures abs think it’s funny it’s not.. as there are people who are made that way abs can’t change it so easy. I pray I have the courage abs strength to be as confident as you. Thank you so much xx

I had both eyes done 3 days ago.  Perfect result!  No double vision at all!  I am not having actual pain but very uncomfortable with that gritty feeling in my eyes and light sensitivity. It does hurt a little bit to look to each side so I am avoiding that. I don’t feel like driving.

I am 76 years old and I have had strabismus all my life but it was corrected enough with prisms until recently when the prism strength needed was too great so I decided to have the surgery. It was done conventionally, not with adjustable sutures, and to my absolute amazement I did not see double immediately after waking up from anesthesia.

It’s very hard for me to adjust to not reaching for glasses immediately and waking up in the morning because if I didn’t have my glasses on before I couldn’t negotiate walking to the bathroom Without bumping into the doorway or just walking with my eyes closed which I could do easily. I’m sure those of you who are reading those who have strabismus understand.

Good luck to everyone reading this who is about to have the surgery. Don’t be scared. It was not the terrible experience I thought it might be.

I'm so proud and happy for you! My right eye is also lazy, it's not really noticeable unless I'm really tired, but it does bother at me times. I love how open you've been about it. You were beautiful before and your beautiful now! I hope you heal quick 😊

Ben is just so cute, sending you lots of love and light beautiful babe ♥️ get well soon

I really hope u heal fast & feel better soon 😬🙂

I don't know if you will see this but thank you! I had it all my life as well and it was a struggle. These past few years it has effected me more because it started showing more and even while working, I know that some customers noticed it and some have made comments and it hurts. I really hope I can that surgery to not only make me more confident but better my life.Thank you for talking about it in your video about this and thank you for sharing this journey with us!

I’ve never had a surgery and have had lazy eye for as long as I can remember. I have perfect vision so I never understood why I needed glasses as a kid so I never bothered wearing them. I’m 26 now and I notice my eye drifting out more. I have control over it and I can always center it, but I would like that to be natural and see with both eyes. I want the surgery but I’m very scared and this feels like it helped. Thank you for posting. Your videos on this feel like a blessing 💜

Steph, you are amazing ! It takes a strong woman to go through a difficult situation yet be so funny! I hope your healing goes smoothly querida.

I just got eye muscle surgery because I had strabismus and I’m here recovering and watching 💓 I’m so happy I got it done my nurses and staff were awesome I was nervous but they made me feel cared for. They put me to sleep and it went by fast!

I've had a lazy eye since I was 13 or so, I checked for Surgery almost 9 years ago, and when my dad heard that it will not effect my vision, it is more beauty thing, he got scared and refused to let me do it, now I am considering again, and your video helps so much

I had 2 surgeries  6mos and 4 years old. I'm now 44 and am now noticing my eye is turning in again. I am considering surgery.  Growing up was hard.  I got made fun of from other kids they would ask me "what are you looking at" or adults  will look behind them and ask am I looking at them ( how rude)  people are so rude! Thanks for your video

I just had this surgery last week. It’s unbelievable how much it changes your life. I’ve suffered from Strabismus for the last 4-5 years and it’s been awful. So great to be able to see straight again!

Praying for your speedy recovery 🙏🏼

I'm glad everything went good for you steph😘❤❤ missed you
