Our 15th mos. old son, Tate, was diagnosed with DS Type I in his left eye when he was 11 mos. old. He has been very slow to walk, but we were not overly...
Our son (DS type II) walked 2 or 3 steps and then would fall down and crawl, at 10 months. 12 hours after his first surgery (at 12 months) he was walking 12...
My 15 mo. daughter has been walking since 12 mo. She has Duane's II. I have yet to determine if she is favoring one direction or another when walking. At...
I have type I Duanes. I've competed in marathons for years and was NCAA level skiing. I did have to 'work' on my leg mechanics for long distance running but...
I can tell from reading other posts that I do not know enough about Duanes. My 8 year old DD has duanes but I have no idea what kind. It took until her third...
Kristin, It sounds like your daughter has type 1 (same as our son) which is where the eye doesn't turn out, one of the best way to get more info is to just...
Working on the good eye is a viable option that a few members have had done. The surgery I'm due to have in a few days will be on both my Duanes and good eye....
Where are you stationed? Maybe one of us can help you find a qualified doctor in your area. Let us know. If you are near MD....I have a wonderful doctor who my...
Abbie, I had surgery on my good eye in 2005. The surgery was very successful, and I ended with some lateral movement on my Duane's eye. Some lateral movement...
I am in MD and my son sees Dr. Walterman in Catonsville. This wonderful Dr. has answered all my questions. Brian had his surgery in Sept 07. He has no issues. ...
For what it is worth our child's surgery was done on his "good" eye. The surgeon he saw is great and I'm very confident that she was correct that this offered...
Hello, I have a question for those of you whose children have had VRT. My baby (type 1-left eye) had VRT with Dr. Rosenbaum last July (about 6 months ago)....
As far as pictures, Dr Rosenbaum will tell you whether there is a likelyhood of surgery, but nothing definitive until he sees the child. A head turn is almost...
My daughter (type 1 right eye) had VRT only by Dr Rosenbaum about 3 years ago. After the VRT he said that he did not feel she would need the MRR because the MR...

Is not a handicap, because it never stopped me from doing anything that I wanted to do. And also if you start treating as a handicap than kids will become...
That's a hard. Most of all, it has been a social "handicap" (i dont' like that word, as a social worker...), if anything. -Annie Fitzgerald On Fri, Feb 20,...
I see my son's Duanes as more of a limitation than a handicap. It may limit him in some ways, but I don't think it will truly keep him from doing anything...
Hello everyone, To me, it is both a social and functional handicap. My daughter has very light and virtually unnoticeable Duane's. I count myself very lucky...
I had my surgery yesterday (finally)! I had a recession and transposition on my Duanes eye, and a recession on my good eye. It was meant to be swollen etc and...
Hello all...I have not posted for quite some time. My five year old daughter, Kiara has type 1, left eye and is able to hit mid line. (Her case is quite...
Congratulations and Best wishes your eyes stay straight and healthy! Our little boy is 18mo old and he is crossing very much especially when he is looking ...
My son had VRT at 2 1/2 yrs and MRR at 3 yrs (six months apart to the day). And he has had a wonderful result. No one even notices that he has Duane's...
Congrats, Corey! I'm so glad it went well!!! The scratchiness and the blood will go away shortly. That's normal. So happy you are positive about the...
Wow, that sounds great -- are you going to take and post pictures?? Congratulations!! What was your history with or diagnosis of Duane's and reason for having...
You've probably thought of this already: be sure she bats with her non-Duane's side forward (i.e., if she has Type 1 in her left eye, she should bat lefty so...
Thanks Annie!! :) I'm getting less confident about it now. It seems to be a tiny bit off center and the pupil seems to be a weird shape :/ I go back for a...
Yup I'll be posting some pre/post pictures later. My reason for surgery... well, I had central alignment and could see straight ahead until i was about 19 when...
My surgery was actually three procedures done at the same time to save me some time. If they do recommend two separate surgeries - I'd go for it. It hasn't...
