My 4yr olds fifth eye surgery coming soon for exotropia. How many is to many? Is vision therapy a option still?
I like his surgeon, highly recommended. I just don’t know how many more surgeries to put him through. I feel he needs them for his eyes to align but I am getting more discouraged with each surgery. I’m not sure now how effective vision therapy will be since we’ve already done surgeries. Any advise/suggestions is appreciated.

Only the doctor that has been treating your son can responsibly answer your questions. None of us in here knows his history or the extent of his anomoly or what has been done to correct it. It is not uncommon for there to be several surgeries as kids grow. But, really, you need to ask your doctor and then you also might want to consult someone as a second opinion. Most good doctors welcome this and do not take it as an insult at all.
