Treatments

Strabismus surgery is performed to correct the misalignment of the eyes, a condition commonly known as squint. In this procedure, the eye muscles responsible for moving the eyeball are adjusted—either tightened, loosened, or repositioned—to restore proper alignment and coordination between both eyes. The surgery can be performed in children or adults, often under general anesthesia for children and local anesthesia for adults. Correcting strabismus not only improves cosmetic appearance but also helps in restoring binocular vision and preventing vision problems such as double vision or lazy eye. Recovery is usually quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days.
