My Journey with Equal-Eyes: How I Overcame Strabismus and Lazy Eye

Blog Article

Hi, my name is Katerin. I’m 19 years old, and I live in Colombia with my parents. For as long as I can remember, I’ve lived with strabismus and a lazy eye (amblyopia). It’s been a part of my life since birth, and for years, I thought it was just something I’d have to live with forever. But everything changed two years ago when I stumbled upon the Equal-Eyes website. Let me tell you my story.

Growing up, I was always self-conscious about my eyes. Strabismus made my eyes misaligned, and my lazy eye made it hard to see clearly out of one eye. I struggled with depth perception, reading, and even simple things like catching a ball. I wore glasses and even tried patching therapy when I was younger, but nothing seemed to fully fix the problem. I felt like I was stuck, and I didn’t know where to turn.

One day, I was scrolling online, trying to find answers. I came across the term “binocular vision dysfunction” and realized I had no idea what it meant. Curious, I started searching for more information. That’s when I found the Equal-Eyes website. At first, I was just looking for a “binocular vision dysfunction test” because I wanted to see if I had it. I didn’t even realize that strabismus itself is a binocular vision disorder!

The Equal-Eyes website was so easy to navigate. I took their quick online test, and it confirmed what I already knew deep down—my eyes weren’t working together the way they should. But what really caught my attention was their VR vision therapy for lazy eye and binocular vision disorders. I had never heard of using virtual reality to treat these conditions, and I was intrigued.

I spent hours reading about how VR therapy works. It uses specially designed exercises to train both eyes to work together, improving alignment and strengthening the weaker eye. The idea of using technology to help my condition felt so modern and exciting. I knew I had to try it.

I talked to my parents about it, and after some convincing, they agreed to let me try the Equal-Eyes VR Vision Therapy app. We downloaded it on my Samsung Galaxy phone, and I started using it right away. At first, it was challenging—my eyes had to work in ways they never had before. But I was determined. I followed the program religiously, doing the exercises every day.

Two years have passed since I started using the Equal-Eyes app, and I can’t believe how much my life has changed. My lazy eye is gone—completely gone. My strabismus has improved significantly, and my eyes are more aligned than ever before. I can see clearly, read without straining, and even play sports without worrying about my depth perception.

But the biggest change has been in my confidence. For the first time in my life, I don’t feel self-conscious about my eyes. I feel like I can truly be myself.

I’m so grateful I found Equal-Eyes. It’s not just an app—it’s a lifeline for people like me who thought they’d never find a solution. If you’re struggling with strabismus, lazy eye, or any binocular vision disorder, I encourage you to give it a try. It changed my life, and it could change yours too.

Thanks for reading my story. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I’d love to help anyone who’s going through what I went through.

With love,
Katerin
