Well, amblyopia/lazy eye is not a disease in and of itself. There's usually a CAUSE like strasbismus or ptosis. I was diagnosed at age ten with lazy eye. NOT an accurate diagnosis. I never had surgery because lazy eye is supposedly permanent by age 10. I had glasses, which didn't help my undiagnosed MG.
It probably is still the MG causing the focus issues. I hope you don't have any more issues with MG.
Alison, I'm glad your husband is better.

My actual name is Leora ... lolligrump came from my children year's ago and I'm too lazy to change that user name on all my accounts!
All through my childhood and even through my young adult years, I was told over and over again that my lazy eye could not be fixed, but then I happened upon an ophthalmologist who also was a surgeon and he told me fixed them all the time! So, at about 32 years old I had that surgery, (I'm 55 now), and my lazy eye has not been an issue. As stated in a previous message, it now looks as though because of that surgery or the MG it could be causing the misalignment of my eyes. Guess time will tell - I'm still going on the theory that it's only been a little over 4 weeks from my Thymectomy, and I am still recovering. In fact, I've read that it can take up to a year to be symptom free. One can only hope! I am so grateful that at least I can see clearly most of the day, which was the opposite case before this last surgery.
