Surgical treatment of strabismus is aimed, first of all, to restore a symmetrical position of the eyes, ie to correct the existing cosmetic defect.
Most patients with strabismus (regardless of age), are experiencing psychological discomfort about their appearance and the surgery helps them solve this problem. For surgical treatment of strabismus is often resorted when the disease developed in adulthood (for example, as a consequence of injuries). Surgery is also indicated for children with congenital strabismus, which is accompanied with a significant deviation of angle of the eye.
Types of strabismus correction surgery
All operations performed to correct strabismus, can be divided into two groups:
1. Methods used to enhance the action of the weakened eye muscles. To achieve this effect, the doctor shortens the weakened muscle by the excision of its part (resection) or forms tendon fold (tenorrhaphia) and moves in the right direction the place of attachment of the muscle fibers (anteposition).
2. The techniques used for mitigating the undue stress of the oculomotor muscle. With this purpose can be used change of muscle attachment place, as well as lengthening the muscles tense due to the muscle fibers plastics or dosed excision.
The final choice of surgery technique to correct strabismus is determined by the surgeon, and the ophthalmic surgeon takes into account a number of factors (detailed diagnosis, age, the angle of deviation of the eyes, individual anatomical features of the oculomotor apparatus). The operation can be conducted in one or both eyes simultaneously by using amplifying or attenuating techniques and their combinations. Surgical treatment of strabismus by indications can be performed in one stage or in several stages.
Surgery process
Surgery in adults in most cases is performed on an outpatient basis, children with strabismus may be hospitalized. The choice of anesthesia depends on many factors, but in adult surgery usually is used under local anesthesia (anesthetic drops). After surgery, the patient returns home. The estimated duration of the recovery period is 7 days.
Surgery results
The surgery of strabismus correction helps to eliminate existing cosmetic defect. It should be noted that the operation itself does not always lead to restoration of normal vision. This is due to the fact that for the time while the patient is having strabismus, his brain is trying to adjust and compensate the lack of vision with all available means: strabismus is very often accompanied with the development of amblyopia, in which the affected eye is almost not involved in the visual process. After the operation and restoring normal eye position the patient has actually re-learn to see with both eyes simultaneously (binocular vision), and it may take a lot of time and effort. For the early recovery of binocular vision experts strongly recommend that all operated patients undergo treatment hardware course.
