About Eye Muscle Surgery

Eye muscle surgery corrects misalignment caused by weak or overactive eye muscles. It helps people with crossed eyes, double vision, or difficulty focusing. Children with strabismus and adults with eye movement issues often need this procedure. An eye specialist, called an ophthalmologist, performs the surgery after a full eye exam. Doctors recommend this treatment when other options like glasses or therapy do not help. Eye muscle correction surgery improves vision alignment, reduces eye strain, and boosts confidence. Many people choose strabismus eye surgery for better eye control and comfort in daily life. It supports long-term eye health.

Eye Muscle Surgery Options in Delhi

Pristyn Care in Delhi offers advanced eye muscle surgery aimed at correcting misaligned eyes for improved visual function and comfort.

Squint Surgery/Strabismus Surgery

Squint surgery, often referred to as strabismus surgery, is a procedure to align the eyes correctly by adjusting the muscles around them. This surgery helps manage conditions like strabismus, where the eyes point in different directions, and nystagmus, which causes uncontrollable eye movements. 

By realigning the eyes, this surgery enhances depth perception and reduces eye strain. The primary goal is to get both eyes working together properly, which can enhance your overall visual perception. Strabismus eye surgery involves repositioning the eye muscles so they can guide the eyes evenly.

Who cannot have eye muscle surgery?

People with uncontrolled health issues or poor eye health may not qualify for this procedure. The doctor checks overall health first. Each patient needs a full check-up before starting Strabismus eye surgery or any treatment.

How is Eye Muscle Surgery Performed?

When it comes to fixing misaligned eyes through surgery, doctors focus on adjusting the extraocular muscles—the muscles around your eyes. This is how the procedure generally goes:

  • Preparation: Patients receive general anaesthesia so they stay comfortable during the surgery.
  • Incision: A small cut is made in the conjunctiva, which is the clear layer covering the white part of your eye.
  • Muscle Adjustment: The surgeon moves the affected muscle to a new spot to correct the alignment.
  • Closure: The incision is stitched up with dissolvable stitches.
  • Procedure Duration: The whole process usually takes between 45 minutes to two hours.

Eligibility for Eye Muscle Surgery

Eye muscle surgery is a procedure to correct misaligned eyes. It can help with conditions that cause the eyes to not line up properly. Here’s what makes someone eligible for this surgery:

  • Diagnosis of Strabismus: If your doctor finds that your eyes are not aligned because of issues like exotropia (eyes turning outward), esotropia (eyes turning inward), hypertropia (vertical misalignment), or nystagmus (uncontrolled eye movements), you might need surgery.
  • Severity of Condition: Surgery is often suggested when other treatments haven’t worked well enough to fix the alignment.
  • Impact on Daily Life: If your misaligned eyes are making daily activities challenging or affecting your quality of life, eye muscle surgery might be a good option.
  • Previous Treatments: If you’ve tried glasses or eye exercises without success, surgery could be the next step.

How to Prepare for Eye Muscle Surgery?

Getting ready for eye muscle surgery involves some important steps:

  • Consultation: Meet with an ophthalmologist to check if you’re eligible and discuss what you should expect.
  • Medication Avoidance: Stay away from certain medicines like aspirin or ibuprofen before your surgery.
  • Preoperative Instructions: Follow any specific guidelines about eating and drinking before going under anaesthesia.

Post-Procedure Care After Eye Muscle Surgery

After your eye muscle surgery, here’s what you can expect and how you can help yourself heal:

  • Follow Medication Regimen: Use any prescribed eye drops or ointment exactly as told to avoid infections and aid healing.
  • Rest and Hydration: Make sure you get plenty of rest and stay hydrated to help your body recover.
  • Avoid Strenuous Activities: Steer clear of physical activities like swimming or going to the gym for at least two weeks.
  • Monitoring for Complications: Look out for issues like increased drainage from your eyes, changes in vision, or persistent pain and contact your doctor if these occur.
  • Follow-Up Appointment: Don’t miss your follow-up visits; they’re crucial for checking that everything is healing properly.
  • Gradual Return to Normal Activities: Slowly get back into daily routines as advised by your doctor.
