If you have double vision, you may be helped by a fairly simple medical procedure. Eye muscle surgery is a unique medical procedure in the United States that helps people of all ages regain binocular vision. Children with Brown syndrome, an inflammation that causes the eyes to wander and double vision to occur and congenital double vision, are often the dominant patients. On the other hand, some people discover their double vision as they age and the eyes weaken. Eye muscle surgery can help these people as well.

This Thanksgiving weekend marked the two-year anniversary of my Lasik surgery. Interestingly enough, I received an e-mail from a friend whose friend was asking about Lasik. His e-mail accounted for the basics - cost, procedure and recovery time, various risks, etc. But what he really wanted to know was what to expect before, during and after procedure that the docs don't cover in the initial meeting.
