    Diagnosis And Treatment Of Squint Eye Surgery In Bangladesh

    Diagnosis Before Squint Eye Surgery:

    Typically, strabismus may be detected as part of a routine eye health checkup by an ophthalmologist. Testing for strabismus may include the following tests:

    • Patient history: The eye doctor will ask the patient or parent about any present symptoms. In addition, the doctor will note any general health issues, drugs, or environmental factors that may be contributing to the symptoms.
    • Visual acuity: This is to determine how much of the vision is impacted. In this test, the patient is asked to read letters on reading charts that are both close and far away. Visual acuity is expressed as a fraction, such as 20/40. The top value is the typical testing distance (20 feet). The bottom value is the smallest letter size you can read from a distance of 20 feet.
    • Refraction: A refraction may be performed to assess the appropriate lens power the patient may need to compensate for any refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
    • Alignment and Focusing test: This will help the eye specialist determine how well the eyes focus, move, and work together. This is important because in order to form a clear and single image of what one is viewing, the eyes have to be able to focus and move in unison. This test can help identify problems that prevent the eyes from focusing effectively.
    • Eye health examination: A thorough examination of the internal and external structures of the eye will help rule out any eye illness that could be causing strabismus.

    How To Prepare For Squint Eye Surgery?

    Your ophthalmologist will conduct a pre-operative assessment to determine your suitability for the surgery. If you have any questions, this is a good time to address any concerns you may have about the surgery.

    The doctor will also provide instructions on when you should arrive at the hospital for the surgery and any details on food, drinks, or medication intake before the procedure.

    It is crucial that you have a plan in place for your return home after the surgery. Normally, you would be allowed to return home the same day, ideally with a friend or a family member who can accompany you as you may be drowsy. It should also be noted that you will not be able to drive for a day or two after the surgery.

    What Happens During Squint Eye Surgery?

    Squint Eye surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes less than an hour to complete. If your child is having surgery, you will be allowed to stay with them in the operating theater until they’ve been given the anesthetic. After this, you will be asked to leave so that the doctor and his team can fully concentrate on taking care of your child.

    During The Procedure:

    • The eyelids are held apart with an instrument called the lid speculum, and the eye is rotated so that the eye muscle to be operated upon can be easily accessed.
    • The conjunctiva of the eye is cut open with scissors to expose the muscles so that the surgeon can either strengthen or weaken them by moving them into a new position. This is done to ensure the eyes point in the same direction.
    • The muscles are then fixed in their new position with dissolvable stitches.
    • In some instances, further adjustments to the eye muscles may also be necessary. These are usually performed using local anesthesia.

    After Squint Eye Surgery:

    A pad is usually put in to cover the treated eye after the operation. This will typically be removed after the operation or the very next day. You will likely experience soreness following the operation but painkillers and eye drops should help ease any discomfort and encourage healing.
