Hi Mary,
I have had three strabismus surgeries and need one or two more to get my eyes where they “should” be. I wear ground in prisms (9 diopter in each lens for 18 total) and they do well. I will wait until the eyes dont focus as well and then I will think about the muscle surgery again.
People with active GED (The new term is Thyroid Eye Disease or TED) may need multiple strabismus surgeries as their eyes adjust to the disease. The medical schools and eye doctors are now refering to the eye involvement as TED since you can have the eye disease and not have Graves’.
Please feel free to e-mail if you have any questions.
