... Yes...trying to get my son to look "straight" for the pics was tough; more often that not, when he did, he squinted. I had to take like 20 just to get the...
Hello, all! I have been trying to read through these posts as much as possible in my free-time; I am simply amazed at how similar all of our thoughts, fears,...
Thanks for the post. I just found out my 11 month old has Duanes in his right eye. I have not been told much about it at all and cant wait till September...
Yes they can be both! My twin sons are both diagnosed left-side hypertonia with trunk hypotonia, and the eldest has hypertonia in his right leg as well. They...
Welcome to all of the newbies! I can't help noticing that this is yet another set of twins, ONE of whom has Duane's. And in this case they're identical...

I have fraternal twins.(girl/boy)My daughter is the one with Duanes.I know next to nothing about this.They basically said she has it and we'll see you in 4...
Hang in there! It might be related, it might not. My boys both have mild CP in addition to my youngest having the Duane's. I remember that, for me, the...
Hi there! I LOVE meeting other parents of twins (I have 2 sets myself)! The reality is that next to nothing is known about it! So far there are a few widely...

Our daughter had the surgery and didn't have many after effects of the surgery. She slept off the anethesia and was up playing that night. I think it hurt us...

My 18 month old son was diagnosed with Duane's a couple of weeks ago. The doctor said that he needs surgery because his eyes do not align straight in the...
Well personally, my alignment was fine until around my eighteenth birthday and now my left eye turns in pretty badly. If you held his face in your palms and...
