Suggest Treatment For Major Convergent Strabismus
hello, I am from Romania,my name is Alice and I have an 8 months old baby girl with major convergent strabismus. She had the surgery a few days before for both eyes but the eyes are still crossed (not as much as before the surgery). A few minutes after the surgery the eyes were alliagned but after 2 days they begin to crooss again.The doctor told me that the fnal result can be seen after 2 months. It is usual that the eyes not to look straight after the surgery? Is it possible to reallign and be like after the surgery?

dear parent. I understand your concerns but the surgery sucess rate ranges from 30_80%. as the eye muscle surgery is not a brain surgery. the brain is the main control of the eye muscle movement. so cutting and moving the eye muscles will not automatically change the brain signals to the eye muscles. that is why patients offen go back to deviation after surgery. the surgery usually improve cosmetic appearance but not the vision
