Surgical Techniques for Strabismus

Surgical techniques for strabismus involve adjusting the eye muscles to improve alignment. Surgeons either tighten or loosen specific muscles to correct the eye’s position, helping both eyes work together properly. This is done through small incisions, often performed under local or general anesthesia, allowing precise movement of the muscles. Post-surgery, patients may experience improved vision alignment, making activities like reading or driving easier, and reducing eye strain or misalignment-related issues. The goal is to restore proper eye coordination and appearance with minimal discomfort and good safety outcomes.
