I can't say dating someone with a lazy eye would be high on my priority list, no. But if she was perfect in every other way, I don't think it would stop me from dating her again.  theres nothing like high expecations here! wow! | |

Posted: 2/2/2007 9:40:05 PM | I have this condition; its called Amblyopia. I was treated at a young age with vision therapy. It only returns briefly, and rarely, when I am very tired.
http://www.lazyeye.org/#causes
Treatment of Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
Treatment involves glasses, drops, vision therapy and/or patching. Recent medical research has proven that amblyopia is successfully treated up to the age of 17. See National Institutes of Health -- National Eye Institute; Older Children Can Benefit From Treatment; Lazy Eye.
Treatment of amblyopia after the age of 17 is not dependent upon age but requires more effort including vision therapy. Although improvements are possible at any age with proper treatment, early detection and treatment still offer the best outcome.
To quote Dr. Leonard J. Press, FAAO, FCOVD: "It's been proven that a motivated adult with strabismus and/or amblyopia who works diligently at vision therapy can obtain meaningful improvement in visual function. As my patients are fond of saying: "I'm not looking for perfection; I'm looking for you to help me make it better". It's important that eye doctors don't make sweeping value judgments for patients. Rather than saying "nothing can be done", the proper advice would be: "You won't have as much improvement as you would have had at a younger age; but I'll refer you to a vision specialist who can help you if you're motivated."
In other words, there is no valid reason why it can't be successfully treated. | |

Posted: 2/2/2007 10:47:14 PM | I think it depends on the severity of the eye... and of course their personality. For instance, I've met someone who had a slight lazy eye, and a great sense of humor, so it was really easy to get past it.
At the same time, I've met someone who was nasty to people, had a chip on her shoulder, and her lazy eye was one of those that would just kinda roll around in her head. So sometimes it would look at you, and other times, not. Kinda hard to get past that kind of thing. | |

Juust think, maybe she knew that lots of people felt just the way you did about it & that's whhy she had a chip on her shoulder. | |

Posted: 2/3/2007 12:46:32 AM | I would date a one armed, deaf, mute,blind, midget with a peg leg and an eye patch if I liked her. Everyone has something great or a whole list of great somethings an usually once you like them, it's easy to see those things if yer not too busy comparing the person to a fashion magazine fulla digitally enhanced mythical imagery.
Looks are easy to adjust to and become fond of. It mean spirited, obnoxious, self centered behavior that is just plain intolerable.

Posted: 2/3/2007 12:17:10 PM | I have a lazy eye, and wear corrective lenses because of it. It has never, to my knowledge at least, been a problem with men I've known. It did cause me problems in school though, as teachers often thought I wasn't paying attention when I actually was.
If I met a man who had a lazy eye, that would not be a problem for me. | |

Posted: 2/3/2007 1:13:22 PM | A lazy eye is the least of my worries when I am choosing someone to date. I am 50 and hopefully in the next five to ten years I will meet someone who will be my live-out love of the rest of my life.
Being raised by my great-grandparents and grandparents, and having worked at a couple of positions where I dealt with the elderly, I know the latter years can be Heaven or they can be Hell when it comes to physical problems.
It's the emotional content of a man's heart I'm concerned about and that it's mutually felt. | |

Posted: 2/3/2007 1:57:24 PM | | I was born with a "lazy eye," it runs in the family. I had it surgically corrected when I was just a babe, but it eventually came back. I had the surgery again about 8 years ago, that was not fun. The lazy eye pretty much does quit working, so getting used to both eyes working together again was a trip. I can say it was pretty difficult to make eye contact with someone who didn't know which eye I was actually using. | |

Posted: 9/19/2007 4:33:58 AM | | Its not lazy eye its wandering eye,,,,,,,,the nerve was probably damaged during birth. My Daughter had the very same problem and surgery corrects it. Lazy eye is the eye that needs to be covered to make it stronger. | |

Posted: 9/19/2007 4:35:23 AM | | I've got a lazy eye but it doesn't stop me from doing anything any normal person can do. I don't even realize that it wanders until my kids start laughing at me. They only do that because they say it creeps them out..i can fix it on my own. | |

Posted: 2/15/2008 7:00:04 PM | | I went to school with a girl that had this. She was by far the most attractive girl in school. To this day I regret telling her that her eyes only added to her attractiveness. | |

Posted: 6/2/2008 8:50:14 PM | Before i reply to this, have to say that some of the posts regarding this topic are really ignorant.
I've had it since birth (born 12 wks premature) & if anybody wants to crack jokes about it, they can seriously **** off. Fortunately a great majority of my friends have never even brought it up once to me & i don't really like discussing it with others. This is me, so take it or leave it. | |

Posted: 6/2/2008 9:15:27 PM | Hey...you are the one who said you don't like discussing it with others...
and then you post about it on a public forum seen by thousands.
Too funny.
Oh...my opinion on someone having a lazy eye:
Not even worth mentioning. Not with all the more serious physical and mental challenges people face everyday. | |

Posted: 6/3/2008 3:35:22 AM | I dated a guy with a lazy eye...I always took it to mean the other part of his brain had wandered off in the middle of some of those eyeball to eyeball conversations that people have.
I also dated a guy with a glass eye. It took me 2 years to have the courage to ask which one was real and which one was fake. Had some fun with my 2 year old nephew and the extra glass eyes that were in boxes ...oh, my eye jumped right out into my hand! | |
