Hello, people with different strabismus problems.
I am a mother of children with exotropia and we live in poland.
Has anybody tried the use of botulimum toxin a in treating the strabismus? I have read an article about using the toxin in curing. For some people it might help to be injected once, for others it needs to be repeated two, three times. The effect only works for 3-4 months and during that time the patient needs to do quite a lot of vision therapy to use the time. Is that popular/done in the usa, canada or australia. The countries seem to have more access to science and the latest scientific discoveries.
Another question is - has anybody used special striped prisms to cure the strabismus? They look awful, but apparently help to get rid of the strabismus - deepen the 3d vision and dicrease the squint angle. Any experience with the prisms?
I shall be grateful for any opinions on the success/failure of the botulinum and striped prisms.
All the best for you, people
