Eye muscle surgery, also known as strabismus surgery, is a procedure designed to correct misalignment of the eyes, a condition known as strabismus. This surgery involves adjusting the length or position of the muscles that control eye movement, allowing the eyes to align properly and work together.
Strabismus surgery is often performed when other treatments, such as corrective lenses or vision therapy, have not been effective. The procedure can be done on one or both eyes, depending on the severity of the misalignment.
This surgery helps improve binocular vision, depth perception, and cosmetic appearance, offering patients better eye alignment and reducing strain caused by misaligned eyes.
