Hi Mom B. It is a very individual decision as to whether to undertake surgery or not and of course no surgery should be undertaken lightly. You do not say what...
Hi Desiree-Sounds like a wonderful appointment and I am so happy for Alana. Yes, that sounds to me like she is not a candidate for any surgery. She is...
Dear Mom B. I don't write in much anymore but often read the posts. I definitely think surgery is worth it. Alisa my daughter had hers at age 4 and I am so...
Prisms can sometimes help duanes (according to my doctor, they reduce the necessary head turn), but if they're annoying you, you should tell your doctor about...
Duanes can sometimes co-occur with other defects, but oftentimes it does not. If you've noticed things that trouble you, you might have it checked out, but...
I read that you were looking for another Dr. outside of Springfield. I live in Wagoner, OK and take my daughter (13 mths) to Dr. Scott Sadeghi here in Tulsa....
I'm in my mid 40's, and I'm nearsighted, too. I have bilateral DS. A couple months ago I got prisms in my glasses for the first time. It took a couple weeks to...
To Mom B. Surgery is totally worth it 150%!! Our daughter has bilateral duanes and had a head tilt when she looked forward. After surgery it was completly...

You are the only one who can make that decision but I will mention a few things you might want to weigh? How big is is head turn now? Is there any chance that...
Hi Liane, I don't which surgery, but am inclined to think it's MRR. I'll ask him next at the next appointment. I don't think there is *any* retraction. But...
Barbara, If you don't mind me asking, how severe was your son's head turn? My husband and I have received conflicting opinions from two different doctors...
I've had surgery 4 years ago, and since I gave birth about a year ago, I've been afflicted with the most severe headaches, which is usually this immense ...
From what I've read (and this research was fairly old, but I think it's still accurate): Two conditions can underlie duanes--a split nerve, which results in...
Ashleigh, that is really interesting. How do doctors figure out if the nerve is split, missing or paralyzed? Would an MRI show that? Alison ... From:...
This research (pointed out to my parents by my original PO in the 1980s) was fairly preliminary, and the basic diagnosis was done by observation--if there was...
Thanks, Ashleigh. The issue, then, is whether dd's eye issues are congenital or not. That's where the early photos of her may help, I suppose. There is one...
Hi Eileen, We had three different opinions. The first doctor said his head turn was over 30 degrees and he needed surgery immediately (he was two at the time)....
I am not sure what to make of it either but I did find some of the same with Eloise. I definately found some photos where here duanes eye was past midline. I...
Has anyone had any experience with tearing / drainage with the Duane's eye? I have noticed my daughter's eye has been doing so more frequently here lately -...
Hi, I am new to this group. My beautiful 8 month old son was diagnosed last Thursday with Duane's Type 1 in his left eye. I am still having a difficult time...
Hi! My son (DS, type I , rt. eye) just had tear duct probing and irrigation on Friday the 4th. His eyes, especially the right, teared quite often. Whenever he...
Does anyone have any info or personal experience with the Foerderer Eye Movement Disorder Center at the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia?? Thanks for any...
... My 12 mo dd just had a sedated MRI a few weeks ago. She didn't have an IV, they gave her nembutol and something else that I'm spacing on right now orally....
Hi there What a pity that you have developed these nasty headaches. You say that they started after you gave birth to your baby about a year ago... I am...
Alison, Thank you so much for the reassuring information. My son is also a very happy, active and healthy baby! No one in my family noticed anything but me...
I worry all the time about it (what caused it, will it get worse, could I have prevented it in any way, etc.) and even wake up several times a night wishing it...
