Hi everybody. I have type I DR. My name is Tom and I've had DR since birth of course and have not been treated. I came across this site recently because...
Hi everybody. I've had DR all of my life through adulthood and I think one of the most important considerations for surgery is ease of reading. As a post...
Hi Tom, My name is Tina and I also have Duane syndrome I & II along with wildervanck and Kleppil-Feil syndrome which these two are very rare and I am 36 yrs...
Hi Tina. Thanks for your email. I'm interested to know what your Dr.'s opinions are with regards to surgery. In some cases, as I've read, the surgery is to...
My first worry when my son was diagnosed with Duane's is that it would interfere with reading. It didn't. He was an early self taught reader and has never...
Hi Tom. I'm 44 and my Duane's got much worse in my late 30's due to my Duane's eye being my eye that kept better close vision. I used it exclusively to read...
I don't remember how it was as a child but as a young adult graduate student, the amount of reading was mountainous and I needed to do the slight head turn...

Hi - 49 y/o adult here with Type I in left eye. I've been a voracious reader since childhood and duane's has not affected this. I do wear glasses for...
I have heard about patching quite often. Is the eye that is affected with Duane's patched? Does this help with a head turn? It sounds like patching is mostly...
I am a 35 year old female with Duane's in my right eye. Reading is not a problem for me at all. Different people seem to have different experiences, though....
That patching isn't necessarily used to treat Duane's. Sometimes children with DS will develop amblyopia(lazy eye) as a result of the misalignment of their...
Hello everyone-- Our son had VRT surgery with Dr. R in October, and is now being patched in order to strengthen the eye which was operated on. I have two...
Just for your knowledge. My son had VRT surgery followed by MRR surgery with Dr Rosenbaum over a year ago and he has none of the problems that you are...
It is general anesthesia done as an outpatient. My son was woosey for the rest of the day, but at a car museum the next morning. As for risks, there can be a...
I always find that my Duane's eye gets more mucus, etc than my other eye. I have hypothesized that the lessened mobility makes it harder to clear the mucus. ...
Hi, my daughter had VRT by Dr R a little over a year ago. She had a vertical deviation and required a second surgery to correct this the following day. All is...
