Eye Muscle Surgery

Eye muscle surgery, or strabismus surgery, is a procedure aimed at correcting misalignment of the eyes, often referred to as "crossed eyes." It involves adjusting the muscles that control eye movement by either repositioning them or altering their length. This helps improve coordination between the eyes, which can enhance vision and appearance. The surgery is usually outpatient, meaning patients can go home the same day. Post-surgery, some may experience swelling or discomfort, but recovery typically leads to better alignment and improved visual function. Overall, it is a common and effective way to treat eye muscle problems.
