My eye is twitching!

For about a year now, I’ve noticed my right eye drifting upward—it isn't extreme, but it feels like it's getting worse.😢 Are there actually any exercises online that work for this? I want my vision back to normal.😢 😢 Please, I need some help here!

I assume you've already gone through the motions of seeing a primary care doctor or maybe even a specialist by now?

I’ve been wearing glasses for four years now. Last saw my eye doctor about a year ago—just a routine checkup. Is there actually any chance of getting my vision back to normal?😢

It’s also worth noting that glaucoma can actually be triggered by the growth of a tumor on the optic nerve or right behind the eye.
Personally, I’d insist on seeing an ophthalmologist just to rule out that possibility entirely and make sure we're working with a rock-solid diagnosis.

Angela Wright said:By the way, eye misalignment can also happen if there's a tumor growing on the optic nerve or near the eye itself.
I’d really suggest seeing an ophthalmologist just to rule that out and make sure you get a solid diagnosis.

Basically, eye misalignment can stem from pretty much any ocular issue—if we're talking about degenerative changes in the optic nerve, retina, vitreous, lens, or even corneal clouding, you'd usually see some loss of vision at the same time.
If your vision in that eye is still crystal clear (when you cover the other one, of course), it's quite possible we're looking at paralytic strabismus http://www.mayoclinic.org/?section...=8892&show=1#4 which is caused by issues with the muscles that move the eyes—this kind tends to pop up more often in adults. It could even be Brown syndrome

Brown syndrome
Could someone please give me a quick rundown of what Brown syndrome actually is?

It involves the sheath of the superior oblique muscle. If that sheath is too short or if the muscle itself is stiff, you won't be able to look upward after looking toward your nose. Usually, it's a congenital thing (something you're born with), though it can show up later due to inflammation, scarring of the tendon, or even a mass near the muscle interfering with how it works. Because the eye can't move in certain directions, people often tilt their heads to compensate. If that's happening, or if the eye drifts when looking straight ahead, surgery might be needed. Lighter cases can sometimes just be monitored since they occasionally improve on their own (especially if it wasn't caused by an injury).

Honestly, I think your best bet is to see a strabismologist—that's the only way to get a definitive answer on what's going on.

If vision remains sharp in that eye (tested by covering the other one), you might be looking at paralytic strabismus http://www.mayoclinic.org/?section...=8892&show=1#4 caused by issues with the muscles that move the eyes. This type is more common in adults. It could also be Brown syndrome.

Brown syndrome
Could someone briefly explain what Brown syndrome actually is?

It involves the sheath of the superior oblique muscle. If the sheath is too short or the muscle is stiff, the eye can't look upward after looking toward the nose. Usually, it's a congenital disorder present from birth, though it can develop later due to inflammation, tendon scarring, or a mass near the muscle interfering with its function. Because the eye can't move in certain directions, people often adopt a compensatory head tilt. If that's happening, or if there's a deviation when looking straight ahead, surgery is usually required. Mild cases can just be monitored, as spontaneous improvement sometimes occurs (especially in acquired cases not caused by trauma).

My advice? Go see a strabologist. They're the only ones who can give you a definitive answer.

Yeah, seeing a strabologist is definitely the move. Hehehe. P.S. I was the one who posted that question about Brown on WebMD.
