We just found out our 1 year old daughter has this. We went to an eye doctor when she was about 5 months old and they didn't notice anything unusual, but we kept noticing it.  We thought it was a lazy eye. Worried about her driving.

My parents worried about me riding a bike and driving. Because I never knew any different I do both just fine. The Dr. told my parents I naturally see double, but my brain adjusted to it when I was a baby and I've never noticed.

My friends don't know I have this eye problem, its not that noticeable and is a great party trick! lol

I was around 18 months when my parents found out it was Duanes!

Good luck with everything, she will be fine :)

I was told this is a rare condition, some eye doctors I saw had to go research about it before they could treat me! Because my eyes are like this I naturally have always seen double. But because I was born with this my brain naturally corrected it and I only see one. It really isn't too noticeable unless I am trying to look either way, but because I'm use to moving my head to see whats beside me, I never use my eyes to look to the side. I don't think I would have an operation, too many risks...

i kinda have that, only its my left eye that like doesn't move.

[pinkkitty202]

You left eye doesn't move at all, or just one way?

Hello,

I'm Petra from the Netherlands. My daughter has te same as you but only on her left eye. She have also a laizy eye. When the laizy eye is over than they can do a surgery. Do you had any surgery's with the Duane Syndroom? Do you have more information over this eye syndroom for me? Here in Netherland is very less information about this. Bye the way....nice video and very clear about Duane.

[pinkkitty202]

I don't have much information on this. It is a very rare eye condition. I know that I have no muscles in the sides of my eyes, thats why my eyes have restricted movement. I have not had surgery for this, it is not needed, i can see fine. I don't have the best peripheral vision thou!

I am worried about your one-year-old driving too!!

I was born with bilateral duane syndrome and it was considered extremely rare when I was born in 1968. The specialist at our local university teaching hospital was so amazed at seeing someone with this condition that they videotaped my eyes for his students to see. This was when I was about 12. I have never met another personal with this condition, and it was actually neat to see this video. Thanks for posting!!

I have duane too, type 4 actually. Just my left eye that cannot move to the left. One comment you made below is so true, yes its a great party trick!! Many thought I could keep my eyes crossed for so long while they struggled with that. Of course I told them at the end that I cheated. haha!
