Hi all i dont know if i really belong here as my son doesnt have Strabismus or a lazy eye, What he does have is called Dwaynes Syndrome
With Dwaynes the eye jsut will not turn outwards . The way it was explained to me is that the muscles that pull the eye out basically are dead, there is no way of correcting the eye without an operation but as he has learnt to work with it they wont think about it. They would only do this if his eye was permanently turned one way but he has coped rather well as his right eye can look straight ahead and to the left it jsut wont look outwards.
People dont ever really notice this but he has learnt at 11 that it is a great party trick. He is an amazing field hockey player and it has never stopped him.
I feel for all those of children who have a lazy eye as we spent a lot of time getting tests and stuff for that jsut to discover it wasnt a lazy eye at all .
Anyway hope yas didnt mind me havin a chat and would love to make new friends especially in Brisbane
