Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that your grand daughter is having poor vision in one eye and she is having daune's syndrome.
Duane's syndrome is a congenital syndrome characterized by the presence of squint with inability of the eyes to move horizontally either medially or laterally.
Most of the children will have associated refractive error and poor vision is because of ambylopia as a result of suppression of the eye with poor vision.
This requires evaluation by a ophthalmologist and if she is aged less than 12 years ambylopia can be treated with good results.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
