Why didn’t my primary care physician, ophthalmologist or optometrist tell me that help was available?

Unfortunately, many doctors outside of our very specialized field are not aware that treatment for eye misalignment in adults is available.  Additionally, many are under the impression that surgery can only be performed as a child or that surgery is not very successful in adulthood. These claims are simply not true. We are frequently meeting with primary care physicians, ophthalmologist and optometrists in hopes to give them more information regarding adult strabismus and treatment options.
