EYE TURNER 1 of 2

This post will likely not be about anything close to what you thought the title implied. This will be a public service announcement and life lesson all rolled into one, I mean two.

Roll mental camera…

My youngest son Cade finished a year long therapy a few months ago, for what many people call a lazy eye or turned eye. The correct terminology is strabismus. When it was originally diagnosed our pediatrician referred us to an eye surgeon to cut on his eye and force it straight. The surgery would make the eyes line up, if the surgery worked, but it wouldn’t fix the vision problem. We couldn’t live with that.

Thank God one of our friends referred us to Dr. White that was totally opposed to surgery and instead had a ground breaking therapy for eye turns. There are only a few doctors in the US doing this and he was right here in Edmond, OK. We met families from many different states and, believe it or not, countries. After therapy Cade’s eyes are straight and working in perfect harmony. No more double vision.

If you have a child or know anyone that has a child with an eye turn please tell them about Dr. White. Even if it is just a focusing issue or they are having a hard time reading, it could be because their eyes are not focusing together. Tell them to go see Dr. White for a free screening. His phone number is 405-216-0707. Read more here.

Anyone else have a modern day miracle worker that we need to know about?


I would love to hear if this post helped anyone, Life lesson tomorrow…

After suffering with double vision for 7 months, I totally don't take my sight for granted! Dr. White sounds great. Anybody that will stand up and not follow the "normal" path of treatment is wonderful!
