Can anyone recommend an expert on baby strabismus/ lazy eye? we have already been to shneider (professor snear) who is considered one of the top experts, but for various reasons we are not satisfied and are seeking another expert.
thanks

Dr. avraham Shpirer 03-5711966 in Ramat Gan

He's the head of pediatric opthalmics at Tel Hashomer. An expert, a frum man, and a mentsch. We were recommended to him by Ezer MiZiyon for our dd. She also had strabismus.

Dr. Entebbe at Ein Kerem is supposed to be THE expert.

She's a woman. We've been to her on our Pediatrician's recommendation with 2 children; once many years ago and once about a year ago. In our kids' cases it was only pseudo-strabismus (runs in the family but so does strabismus and apparently regular opth's have difficulty telling the difference with my kids, whatever) but we met many many people in the waiting room (be prepared to wait) who were there for serious conditions and surgeries for their children. She's known to be really good.

Why don't you call Benny Fisher or Rabbi Firer for a referral or to check some names out?

Yes, at about 1.5. B"H it was successful. Dr. Shprirer did the surgery.
