Answers:
Does your child wear glasses, particularly bifocal glasses!? Many Duane's syndrome patients require bifocals to help them focus up close because the muscles required to do so don't work properly!. If she has difficulty focusing on the near work, this could be the root of her problem!. You may wish to see a doctor who specializes in vision therapy or developmental vision (most often an optometrist), who may be able to give you a better answer!. Call your state optometric association to ask for a referral (assuming you are in the USA)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Take her to a an ophthalmologist (physician who specializes in eye diseases) or optometrist (doctor who prescribes eye glasses)!.
