Did You Know?

Did you know that prolonged screen time and a lack of outdoor play can increase your child’s risk of developing nearsightedness? Fortunately, simple habits such as taking regular screen breaks and spending more time outside make a powerful difference in supporting their healthy vision.

We have been pleased with the office from the first time we stepped in. Dr.Duss is an excellent doctor and truly cares about her patients. She was quick to respond to any questions we had about his eye. She is professional and her staff is professional. She is very knowledgeable and passionate with what she does. It shows! Thank you Dr.Duss. I’m so glad we found your office.

Our family had a wonderful experience with our son’s strabismus surgery. From the initial consultation through the surgery and recovery, Dr. Duss was fantastic. The surgery went extremely well, and we were very pleased with his recovery and results. It has been wonderful to see the positive difference the procedure has made for him and his confidence. I would highly recommend them to any family considering strabismus surgery for their child.

Dr. Duss and staff are a great team. They know how to work with kids. They are proficient and efficient. Appointments start on time and you are given great service. Dr. Duss gives great details on what, how and why she is doing something. She has helped my son regain full control of eyes, which will allow him to be more confident as he ages.
