Exercises glasses...: Glasses may help especially if the rx is high.If you are nearsighted, over corrected lenses may help. If you are far sighted this won't work.If you are very farsighted and your vision is not clear, glasses that improve clarity may help. Convergence exercises can help.These can be done manually or on the computer.Prism glasses may help if you have double vision but can worsen control of exotropia.

Yes: See a pediatric & adult strabismus ophthalmologist to discuss options like prisms and injections.
