About Strabismus (Squint) Surgery
It is done under general anaesthesia in children and often in adults, though adjustable-suture techniques may use local anaesthesia. The surgeon opens the conjunctiva, isolates the eye muscles and weakens, strengthens or repositions them, which changes the direction the eye points. No part of the eye itself is cut, and the stitches dissolve.
The goal is straighter eyes and better binocular function, and in children early surgery gives the best chance of developing depth perception. Results depend on the type and size of squint, the age at surgery and any amblyopia (lazy eye). Some people need glasses, patching or a second operation to fine-tune alignment.
The eye will be red, sore and swollen for a week or two, and double vision may occur briefly. Plan to stay about a week for early checks. Bring your glasses prescription, any orthoptic measurements and photos. Arrange a review with an orthoptist at home, particularly for children who need ongoing vision therapy.
Usually a good fit if
- Constant or frequent squint (esotropia or exotropia) not corrected by glasses.
- Double vision from muscle imbalance that is stable.
- Squint causing functional or social difficulty.
- Stable angle on repeated measurements.
May need to wait if
- Unstable or changing angle, where waiting may be advised.
- Untreated amblyopia, which should be addressed first in children.
- Active eye infection or uncontrolled general illness.
- Need for further investigation of the underlying cause, such as nerve palsy.
How to prepare
- Bring prior eye reports, glasses prescriptions and prism measurements; amblyopia (lazy eye) should be assessed and treated.
- Have orthoptic assessment of the angle of squint, double vision and eye movements.
- Fast as instructed for general anaesthesia; for children, discuss feeding times with the team.
- Review medicines with your doctor; do not stop any yourself.
- Plan time off school or work and stay near for early checks.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- What type of squint do I or my child have, and which muscles will be operated?
- Will adjustable sutures be used?
- What is the chance of under- or over-correction and a second operation?
- Will surgery restore binocular vision or only improve appearance?
- How is double vision after surgery managed?
- What follow-up is needed at home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No orthoptic assessment before surgery.
- Operating without treating amblyopia in a child.
- Promising a one-time permanent cure.
- No plan for follow-up alignment checks.
