I'm curious, most of the time children that don't have their lazy eyes corrected tend to have one dominate eye while the other one is "blocked out" therefore stereovision is not possible.
That being said, its important to correct it at a young age, because at a certain age 7-8ish the nerves to the brain cannot be changed meaning you will never gain stereovision even with surgery to correct the lazy eye. Usually the surgery at post 10+ years of age is for purely cosmetic reasons.
However, in many cases of mild exo or whatever tropias there are, there is still some stereovision-although limited. I'm assuming yours is somewhat limited...?
Have you done a stereovision test as compared to a control normal group yet? I'm curious to know the results.
Grats on the surgery by the way. I have a family member that has the same problem. Knowing what I know now and the importance of correction before a certain age will make me more aware when I have children or my friends have children to.
