WHOM DO I CONTACT?
Answer
The inability of the eyes to move in one or more directions will not be rectified by the surgery. In some cases surgery is done as the eyes do not work together and there is a noticeable squint. In Duane’s syndrome a head posture is adopted mainly to allow the two eyes to work together. In many cases this head posture is only small so no surgery would be done. The results of surgery are not as consistent or as permanent as with other forms of squints therefore surgery is avoided where possible. Back to All Questions
