Patient's question:
I have strabismus, and the doctor said surgery can fix it. Since it's an eye surgery, I've been worried about the risks.Doctor's answer:
Strabismus correction surgery is currently a mature and relatively safe procedure that does not affect vision. Strabismus surgery is performed outside the eye. As long as the patient cooperates and does not move excessively, it will not affect vision. Only a small number of patients may experience slight fluctuations in vision in the short term due to factors such as extraocular muscle edema and traction. This is a normal postoperative response. The surgery generally does not require hospitalization. Patients can be treated and discharged on the same day, and they can return to the hospital a few days later to have the stitches removed.
