Re: lazy eye operation
Has no-one ever teased him or made fun of him about it? That could happen when he's at school. Kids can be awfully cruel.
I'm a bit puzzled that he's 6 and hasn't started school yet. Mine both started in reception class when they were 4.

Re: lazy eye operation
Em I would really think carefully about the reasons you don't want him to have this done. As you say he is only six but as he gets older he may not thank you for not having it done. Not trying to alarm you but really think that it will be something that is thrown out at him some time in the future. Kids really are cruel so please consider having it done.

Re: lazy eye operation
Hi emamum
I had the operation done at a similar age when I was at primary school. Unfortunately, for me, the operation was not followed up by glasses and I still have problems. At primary school, teasing was not a problem. At secondary school, it was a nightmare! Have the specialists mentioned when your eyes are fully developed? Don't quote me, but by the time you reach 8 or 9 years, they stay as they are and won't change much. That's what I have been told, because I can not see out of my 'bad' eye properly, and there is now no way of rectifying it. Children are so resilient. My nephew (age 5) has problems with his hearing and has had several operations. Within an hour of being home after an operation, he is running around like nothing has happened. My advice is do not hesitate for one second, and proceed with the operation. I am now 33 and wish that things could be different for me. |

Re: lazy eye operation
After reading the post by faoai and the pm sent.. i now know more than i did when i started the thread.. i would do anything for my son, but wouldnt put him through any unecessary stress (of what i was informed was cosmetic surgery). i now know what he will get from the surgery and what will (potentially) happen if he doesnt and that helps me make an informed decision about the surgery that he will be having.
These are the times i wish i wasnt a single parent....

I can empathise with that. When my first husband died there were times I wished I had another adult to discuss things with about the kids. It's so much easier to make a decision when you have someone to talk it over with and bounce ideas off isn't it?

Re: lazy eye operation
you have to realise that a operation might not work the first time, its trial and error, they may need 1 or 2 operations or maybe 3 to get it right.

Re: lazy eye operation
I had the op on my left eye when 8, and that was 43 years ago when surgery wasn't as good as today, had no problems with the op - glad I had it, it cured it for 98% of the time ( has a little wander now and then .... lol)
Didn't have glasses after and still don't need em yet and I'm 51 (yes and have had eye tests and work in printing) - let him have the op he'll thank you for it one day
