Seeing these negative stereotypes of misaligned eyes makes a difference to children who have it. These characters contribute to the social stigma associated with having misaligned eyes (strabismus).
Congrats @willow_ljt and Dr. Michael Puente @p.u.e.n.t.e for publishing this research and advocating for our patients in this way.
Side note: Willow is one of the mentees in the Pediatric Ophthalmology Mentorship program that I started with @jtoast . We will be accepting applications in January (I’ll link in stories for more info). #pediatricophthalmology #strabismus
