What is the Prognosis for Children with Marcus Gunn Jaw Winking Syndrome?
The prognosis for children with MGJWS is generally favorable, especially if the condition is diagnosed early and managed appropriately. While the jaw-winking movement tends to persist, many children adapt well, and surgical interventions can significantly improve eyelid function and appearance. Early intervention is crucial to prevent potential complications such as amblyopia (lazy eye) and to promote normal visual development.
