Does having crossed-eyes or a lazy eye . . .

• impair your field of vision
• affect your depth perception
• disrupt your eye to hand coordination
• give you double vision
• make you self-conscious

Surgical Solution Now Available:

Strabismus, commonly referred to as "cross-eyed", and Amblyopia ("lazy eye"), can now be fixed by Dr. Jotterand with outpatient surgery using the advanced "slip-knot" technique for adults. A similar procedure is also available for children and even infants.

Addressing this condition is not considered cosmetic surgery and is covered by most forms of insurance.

1 hour after surgery

Strabismus (pronounced "struh-BIZ-mus") is a condition in which the eyeballs are not aligned properly and point in different directions. When it occurs in adults, it is called adult strabismus. Nearly four in every 100 adults have adult strabismus.

Most adults with strabismus have had the condition since childhood. However, strabismus can also begin in adulthood due to medical problems such as:

• diabetes
• thyroid disease (Graves disease)
• myasthenia gravis
• brain tumors
• head trauma
• strokes

Occasionally, misalignment of the eyes can also occur after surgery on or around the eye, such as cataract surgery or retinal surgery, due to damage to the eye muscles during surgery.

It Is Never Too Late To Treat Strabismus:

Adults do not need to live with the discomfort and problems caused by misaligned eyes. Dr. Jotterand invite you to schedule a personal consultation to see if you might be a candidate for surgery.
