Hey all I just have a question. I'm slightly photo sensitive and have jme but I also have a lazy eye I want to treAt. I am turning 25 next month, and will patch my good eye like they tried when I was a kid in hopes to improve or cure the lazy eye my question is wol forcing this eye strain and retrainIng my brain wffect my epilepsy?
 
Good question. I often have felt it has, in my case. For example, I use an eyelash curler... dumb girl stuff... but once in awhile, while using it, I get that weird feeling of a simple partial. ???
 
My left eye was a lazy eye since I was born. My Dad took me to a Dr. when I was a child, he would excerize with my eyes at night.
EXAmple: I watch the light as he moved it from right to left, then up and down. I also had the patch on my right, forcing me to use my left eye.

Nothing was help, so as I got older my lazy eye got worse, I tried to forced it but that only cause me headaches.

I'm so glad I had the surg.
 
When I was around six I wore a patch over my left eye during the days for a few months. My right eye was lazy. It worked to make them look both equal unless I am not wearing my glasses. That laziness still occurs if I don't wear my glasses and try to read.
What I found weird and the doctor mentioned to me was that my lazy eye was my stronger eye as far as vision goes, it just didn't want to do the work.
I have epilepetic foci in both right and left temporal lobes and my language center is on the right which is rare. You find it most often in people with epilepsy and left handedness. I wonder if something weird happened in my brain as a child.
 
Boy, my eairler post doesn't make sense, Sorry

I had eye surg. in 1982, they had to offset both eyes.

I had double vision for 2 weeks after the surg. My Dr. said this was done so that I would use my right eye, if he had chose to do the surg. a diff. way I would have just kept using my right eye and within 2 months, I would be back where I started.

No one can tell that I once had a lazy eye.
