Esotropia- misalignment of the eye sockets!!!!HELP????????????????

[Guest guest]

Just a quick note to ask a bit of advice. My son stephen had surgery

for his plagio on June 1, 2001. Then he had 7 cavaties filled and 4

steel crowns and the 4 front teeth pulled. Due to the fact that his

teeth were crowded when his jaw was out of alignment. This was done

ASpril 3, 2002. Well, now we are seeing a pediatric Opthamologist.

They have informed me he has esotropia. Does anyone know more about

this subject????????I feel like am going to scream and needed to

vent. So once again I am here typing to all of you for guidance and

support. I got more information from this group and my own reserch

then I did from any doctors in the past. All advice and comments are

appreciated. Hope to here from everyone soon.

SO sorry to read of this I can't remember ever hearing the

term " esotropia " before, but I have heard of plagio babies/toddlers

being seen by an opthamologist to make sure all is ok with the

child's eyes and that the plagio has not affected their vision at

all. Let me search the archives, if I turn anything up, I'll be sure

to let you know.

I didn't know had all that dental work done on top of his

plagio surgery

I'm sure you've already searched the internet for any info you could

find, I also did a quick search & found lots of websites about this,

including this one:

I hope this helps, please keep us posted on .

Debi,

I really wish that I had some advice or knowledge regarding

esotropia, but I never heard of it until today.

I just have to say that I am totally amazed that doctors and

insurance industries will swear up and down that plagio is a purely

cosmetic problem, when in cases such as yours, its obvious that

plagio is so much more than that. I am really sorry to hear that

still isn't having any easy time of this, I was hoping that

it would all be behind him after he had his surgery. As always, we

are here for you whenever you need us to be! Hang in there, and let

us know what you find out!

Hi Debi,

Just wanted to welcome you to the group- I'm sorry I can't help you with

estropia, looks like Jill really came through for you with some more details

on it. It almost sounds like a lazy eye my friend has which was controlled

with glasses, and she can control the movement as well. Good luck to you all

in learning more about it- I hope the internet can do as much for you on this

topic as it has been doing for plagio! Keep us posted on your little man

!
