When something feels “off” with your child’s vision, you don’t wait; you act!

That’s exactly what Darian did when he noticed a progressively increasing bulge beneath his 6-year-old son William’s eye, within the lower lid. Trusting his instincts led them to Pediatric Eye Center and Dr. Lichtenstein, where they found answers, reassurance, and the right surgical care for William. 🙌

Tune in to hear Darian’s story and their experience in his own words! 🎙️

A journey of growth, care, and lasting results! 👁️✨

Luigi was noted to have an abnormal eye movement shortly after birth. He visited Dr. Lichtenstein at 12 months old and was diagnosed with Duane syndrome of the left eye. By age 2, he developed a leftward facial turn, which became more pronounced by age 5, making surgery the best next step.

In the operating room, Dr. Lichtenstein moved the left superior re**us closer to the lateral re**us to improve rotation and weakened the left medial re**us to address tightness. After surgery, Luigi’s head position returned to normal, and his eyes were straight when looking ahead.

Because Duane syndrome is caused by an abnormal nerve supply, it can be improved, but not cured. Luigi is now doing well 7 years post-op… and is officially taller than his surgeon (not a side effect of surgery).

Seeing the world clearly and confidently! 💙

Chris came to us with severe nearsightedness in his right eye, along with amblyopia (often called “lazy eye”), meaning his brain wasn’t fully using that eye. Despite doing all the right things with glasses and patching (great job to his family 👏), his eye began drifting outward (exotropia), which started to affect his confidence.

After a quick 20-minute strabismus surgery, Chris’s eyes are now beautifully aligned, and just 4 days post-op, he’s already smiling brighter than ever. 😊

Our handsome patient, Mario, came to see us with a noticeable eye turn that just didn’t need to be part of his story! 👀✨

In just 30 minutes of surgical time, Dr. Lichtenstein corrected the alignment by adjusting 2 muscles on the left eye and 1 on the right, and just like that, everything came into balance. 🙌 A confident, handsome guy with straight eyes and a bright future ahead. Way to go, Mario! 💙
