5-year old boy with strabismus condition
My 3 year old son also has this condition what the Dr did for him was send
us home with Glasses and then after a year he had a patch, he was wearing it for a month from morning until bedtime or an hour before, then we went back and he wants him to wear it for another month but this month hasn't been going as well..he will not let me put it on. So I don't know what they will say when we go back..... the next thing if it isn't getting better will be the consideration of surgery, which I really don't want him to havbe to go through..but if he won't wear the patch that is the only thing we can do. As far as sucess I am pretty sure that surgery is the last resort and done in more extreme cases as a first measure if it is really bad. The doctor we go to in Ottawa, Canada is supposed to be the best in Canada. From what this doctor has told us if it is unsuccesful it is doue to the patient and the muscles behind the eye. The success of the surgery is definatly something that relates to both the doctors skill and experience with this condition as well as the tools.... I would think most have similar tools and techinques. The doctor we go to is supposed to be the best in Canada....he is in Ottawa but works by referal only, his name is Dr. Bonn. You can ask you current doctor for another opion and try to get in with him. Good luck "Han Xu" wrote in message ... My 5-year old nephew in China has strabismus of the eyes. He had a surgery two years ago, but was not very successful. I am searching for treatment information for him in US. It seems that surgery is most possible way to cure his eyes. I am wondering: 1. What's the successful rate of the strabismus surgery in US (generally)? 2. What's the main possible reason of an unsuccessful surgery ? Is it more because of the patient's particular condition, or the surgery technique ? 3. Still regarding the surgery, is its success most relying on some advanced machine tools, or relying on the doctor's skill ? 4. Any suggestions for hospitals for child's strabismus treatment ? Thank you very much, Han Xu |
