Thanks guys. She had double vision prior to the OD surgery, but now it looks like it’s worse after the surgery. She’s meeting with the doctor tomorrow.

I was just wondering if anybody else on the board became cross-eyed after OD surgery, and how successful strabismus surgery was at correcting that.

Thanks Shirley! In response:

1. My mistake – I shouldn’t have said hormones in the first post. She’s being treated with methimazole and propanolol which I now understand are ATD or antithyroid drugs.

2. Thank you for this!

3. I will keep this in mind. We were considering in holding off the second surgery since her left eye is good at the moment, but our biggest concern is once the steroids wear off, whether or not her left eye will deteriorate again, threatening her vision.

I think we are leaning towards going ahead with the second surgery on Tuesday, since the first surgery went well and we are fearful of a relapse.

Thanks Kimberly for the kind words! We’ve tried to contact the surgeon, but haven’t heard back, and this being Memorial Day Weekend and all…

Thanks Karen, she is on methimazole and propanolol. We’ve recently changed endos, her latest bloodwork came back pretty good, and obviously we’ll keep an eye on it
