Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 Has anyone noticed problems with their children's eyes? Last March my son was diagnosed with convergence insufficiency. We noticed that he squinted or shut one eye while he was doing near point work. With therapy, he had stopped squinting by July. With our recent move across country, we stopped doing the therapy at home and by October he was again squinting one eye. We didn't do the therapy but saw another doctor instead who diagnosed him with strabismus. That was two weeks ago. Since then Dr. Goldberg has switched him from Celexa, which was causing agitation, to Zoloft. Before the switch my son also began being tactile and auditory defensive again (we haven't seen that in about a year). We are two weeks into the Zoloft and he is squinting his eye much less and the tactile and auditory defensiveness is almost gone (very few episodes this week). We are seeing a second eye doctor at s Hopkins in January. Dr. Goldberg thought these problems could be due to processing issues but is very interested in what we find out at Hopkins. Has anyone else noticed eye problems when their kids' processing was bad? Or maybe an improvement when their processing is good? How about with sensory integration dysfunction? My son's has definately improved since starting with Dr. Goldberg and this is the first time he has regressed this much. Just interested if anyone else has been through this kind of thing before.
