About Strabismus Surgery

Strabismus surgery corrects eye misalignment by adjusting the eye muscles. People with crossed, drifting, or squinting eyes often need this surgery. Children and adults both seek help when vision or appearance gets affected. An eye specialist, called an ophthalmologist, performs the procedure. Strabismus treatment improves focus, depth perception, and eye coordination.

Advanced Strabismus Surgery Options

Strabismus surgery at Pristyn Care in Delhi brings hope to those with misaligned eyes, offering improved vision and appearance.

Squint Surgery / Strabismus Surgery

Squint correction surgery, also known as strabismus surgery, is aimed at aligning the eyes properly. The procedure involves adjusting the muscles around the eyes that might be too loose or too tight. By either strengthening or weakening these muscles, the eyes can be realigned to work better together. 

This type of eye alignment surgery is crucial not just for improved vision but also for enhancing one’s appearance and depth perception. Typically, this surgery is performed under anaesthesia in an operation theatre (OT), and recovery usually involves some temporary discomfort and redness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is strabismus surgery?

Strabismus surgery helps straighten the eyes by adjusting the eye muscles. Doctors move or tighten these muscles to improve eye alignment. This surgery supports better vision and appearance. It is a common part of strabismus treatment and takes about 30 to 60 minutes.

Who needs strabismus surgery?

People with crossed or misaligned eyes may need the surgery. If glasses or therapy don’t help, surgery becomes the next step. Children and adults can both benefit. Doctors suggest surgery after a full eye check and medical history review.

Is the surgery painful?

Doctors give anaesthesia to avoid pain during surgery. Patients may feel mild discomfort afterward. Pain usually stays low and goes away within a few days. Doctors give pain relief medicines to manage any soreness or irritation.

How long is the recovery time?

Most patients recover in about one to two weeks. Some may return to normal activity in a few days. The eyes may look red or feel sore, but this improves daily. Doctors give eye drops and care tips for healing.

Can both eyes be treated at once?

Yes, doctors can operate on one or both eyes during the same surgery. The decision depends on the eye movement problem. Treating both eyes can give better balance and results. The doctor decides this based on your eye exam.

Will vision improve after surgery?

Surgery helps align the eyes but may not fix vision alone. Many patients see better when the eyes move together. Some may still need glasses or therapy. Doctors check your vision and offer other treatments if needed.

What are the risks of the surgery?

The surgery is safe but has some risks. These include infection, double vision, or eye movement problems. Most issues are rare. Doctors explain all risks before surgery. They also check your health to reduce any chance of problems.

Is the result permanent?

In most cases, the result lasts for years. Some people may need another surgery later. Regular follow-ups help track eye position. A healthy lifestyle and proper eye care can support long-term results after eye alignment surgery.

How is Strabismus Surgery Performed?

Strabismus surgery focuses on aligning the eyes correctly by adjusting the muscles around them. Here’s what happens during the procedure:

  • Preparation: Children usually get general anaesthesia to sleep through the process without feeling anything. Adults might just need local anaesthesia with some sedation to keep calm.
  • Incision: A tiny cut is made on the thin outer layer covering the white part of your eye to reach the muscles.
  • Muscle Adjustment: The surgeon will either move a muscle further back (recession) to weaken it or shorten it (resection) to strengthen it for proper alignment.
  • Closure: The layer is then closed up without needing any skin stitches.
  • Adjustable Suture Technique: Some cases might use special stitches that allow further adjustments even after the surgery if needed.

Eligibility For Strabismus Surgery

Strabismus surgery can be a crucial step towards improved eye health for both children and adults. Here’s a closer look at who might need this procedure:

  • Children: If your child is under 18 and diagnosed with strabismus, this surgery might be vital. It helps in restoring normal vision where both eyes work together properly, preventing a condition called amblyopia, which can affect vision development.
  • Adults: Adults may need strabismus treatment if they face issues like double vision (diplopia), visual confusion, or want to improve how their eyes work together and their overall well-being. This procedure can also help correct visual field issues or eliminate awkward head postures caused by misaligned eyes.

How To Prepare For Strabismus Surgery?

Getting ready for your strabismus surgery involves a few important steps:

  • Stop Certain Medications: You may need to pause some medications, especially those affecting blood clotting.
  • Avoid Makeup and Contact Lenses: Make sure not to wear makeup or contact lenses on the surgery day.
  • Arrange Post-Operative Care: Have a family member or friend ready to drive you home post-surgery and help you out as needed in the following days.
  • Discuss Expectations: Have a chat with your doctor about what you should expect before, during, and after the procedure.

Post-Procedure Care After Strabismus Surgery

After strabismus surgery, recovery is crucial for successful healing. Here’s how you can take care of yourself:

  • Rest the Eyes: Give your eyes a break from strenuous activities for a few days.
  • Apply Medications as Directed: Doctor will likely prescribe antibiotic drops or ointments—make sure to use them properly.
  • Monitor for Complications: Keep an eye out for signs of infection like redness or discharge and contact your doctor if anything seems off.
  • Follow-Up Appointments: Don’t miss any scheduled visits to check on your healing progress.
  • Avoid Rubbing the Eyes: Try not to touch or rub your eyes to avoid irritation.
  • Manage Discomfort: If you experience any pain, use prescribed medication to ease it.
  • Return to Activities Gradually: Slowly get back into your normal routine over a few weeks as advised by your doctor.
