“What is strabismus surgery?”
I have a 6-year-old daughter, and our doctor is concerned with her misaligned eyes. She thinks we should have strabismus surgery to correct the alignment. What is strabismus surgery?

Strabismus surgery loosens or tightens eye muscles, changing the alignment of the eyes.
It’s often performed in children under the age of 10 when the opportunity for vision correction is optimal and prevent more serious problems in the future. You can find additional information through the American Academy of Ophthalmology https://www.aao.org/eye-health/tips-prevention/lazy-eye-surgery-facts and the American Academy of pediatric ophthalmology.

Strabismus surgery is surgery of the eye muscle that move the eyes up and down and side to side if the muscles are misaligned and vision is poor in one eye due to this then eye muscle surgery is indicated . You need to see a pediatric ophthalmologist for this surgery . Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS

Strabismus surgery involves moving the muscles that are responsible for the movement of the eyes. They may be effectively weakened by moving their insertions back or strengthened by resecting a portion of the muscle. This is done to realign the eyes.
