Adult Strabismus

We are excited to now offer our patients appointments with our Adult Strabismus specialist, Dr Desmarais.
 
Strabismus refers to any eye misalignment – whether one eye or both eyes turn in, out, up, or down. Strabismus can cause double vision and/or problems with depth perception. While often considered a childhood condition, there are many different causes of adult strabismus, including:
 
  • Neurologic issues (such as strokes)
  • Thyroid Eye Disease
  • Myasthenia Gravis
  • Aging
  • Trauma
During your visit, you will first meet with our orthoptist, Caroline Fang, who has over 20 years of experience in treating eye misalignments. You will then see Dr Desmarais, the strabismus surgeon.
 
Treatment for adult strabismus can include prisms and/or eye muscle surgery, both of which Dr Desmarais will review with you during your appointment. At Concord Eye Center, we understand how disabling strabismus and double vision can be. Dr Desmarais and our orthoptist, Caroline Fang, have the training and experience to work with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.​

Through Our Patients Eyes

"I took my son to see Dr. Morse when he was about four and a half. My husband and I have no vision issues, so we were really in uncharted territory. Dr. Morse and the Concord Eye Center staff were so forthcoming and honest with information and that was so important for us. This was all new and we really needed all the support we could get. Dr. Morse has been really great – taking the time to explain everything to us. Cal was very nervous about having glasses but once he got them, he could see so much better that he forgot all his nerves and just took to them. We have just felt very comfortable with Dr. Morse and are grateful for the care she’s given our family."

"Dr. Wasserman knew when it was time for me to consider surgery and I liked that he didn’t rush it, that he was really looking for things to get to a point where surgery made sense. When he said it was time, that surgery could really help, we scheduled it. I felt comfortable with Dr. W and with the procedure – I knew I was in good hands and that I’d be fine. It all went very smoothly. My life has improved so much since the surgery – I love that I really don’t need my glasses all the time anymore – I don’t need them for driving or distance. I didn’t realize the cataracts were that bad – I am so happy it’s done!"

“I’ve been an eye surgeon in Concord for 22 years and have performed hundreds of surgeries for my patients. I can’t tell you how rewarding it is to hear them tell me how their sight has been enhanced and their quality of life improved. My favorite day of the week is my surgery day. My second is the next day when I get to hear the “wows” and see the smiles on patients’ faces. I think that’s what’s been my greatest pleasure in serving the people of Concord and the surrounding towns since 1994. If you have been noticing changes in your vision, I’m proud to recommend that you give us a call.”
