Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Dr. Katowitz performed it on our son almost two years ago. The wiring, I think, has helped with the symmetry of his eyes, but it is really hard to tell.If ever you're in doubt, get a second opinion or a third. We questioned a pretty extreme procedure that Dr. Katowitz wanted to perform on our son and got a second opinion from Dr. Iliff at Hopkins. We told Dr. Katowitz that we were going to get a second opinion and he was absolutely fine with the idea. After getting the second opinion, we decided against the procedure and Dr. Katowitz was fine with that, also. I feel we made the correct and informed choice.My point being, that although getting feedback here is a good idea, it is no substitute for discussing your concerns with the surgeon. Be open and honest with each other.Getting the second opinion from Dr. Iliff also helped because he helped point out some pros and cons that we hadn't though of and gave us some more info on what we should realistically expect.I sincerely hope the best for you and your family.
