Patient's question:
Will there be any aftereffects after pediatric strabismus surgery? The child has been in this condition for some time, and as parents, we are very worried. We hope the doctor can give us some advice.Doctor's answer:
Hello: If strabismus is confirmed, surgery can be performed to correct it. If the surgery is successful, there are usually no aftereffects. Strabismus correction surgery is currently a mature and relatively safe procedure that does not affect vision. The surgery is performed outside the eye, and 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 extracocular muscle edema and traction. This is a normal postoperative response, and vision typically fully recovers about one month after the surgery.
