Strabismus Eye Surgery and All to Know about it
Many people suffer from strabismus, or crossed eyes that affects their vision and aesthetic appearance. In this article, Healing Consulting is providing you with what you need to know about strabismus, its causes, strabismus eye surgery and other related treatments.
Strabismus ( Crossed Eyes )
Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes do not align with each other properly when a person looks at a certain object. Each of them, however, is directed in a different direction. Furthermore, strabismus is classified into inward, outward, upward, and downward; all are caused by the same reason: a weak brain control of eye movements due to either congenital disorder or as a result of paralysis of the muscles that control the movements of the eyes because of apoplexy or amblyopia.
Symptoms of Strabismus
Patients with squint suffer from signs of bad eyesight, blurred vision, and double vision resulting in being unable to recognize the accurate size of things properly. Patients also try hard to focus well on objects while moving the head towards them; a condition that prevents them from doing daily tasks or activities, such as reading, watching TV, or driving a car. These signs result in some psychological issues to the patients, as in suffering from low self-confidence, shyness, and anxiety, especially when communicating with others.
Strabismus Correction
Despite its easy recognition in patients, strabismus needs to be accurately diagnosed to define its type and degree in order to find out the appropriate treatment. Moreover, the treatment methods used vary including the use of medical glasses, contact lenses, and prismatic lenses. Furthermore, a treatment involves doing eye exercises to enhance the connection between the eye nerves and the brain to balance the movement of the eye. Additionally, injecting cosmetic botox into the eye muscles is possible as a kind of temporary treatment. It is also worth noting that squint correction or treatment methods can be applied to both eyes as all methods of treatment aim to fix or improve eye alignment and vision.
Strabismus Eye Surgery
If the previously mentioned treatments proved insufficient at correcting squint, accompanied with the patient’s desire to get rid of strabismus permanently without wearing eyeglasses and medical lenses, squint eye surgery becomes the best treatment. In addition, squint operation requires local or general anesthesia, especially for young or very hypersensitive patients. Strabismus surgery is carried out by relaxing the affected eye muscles or stretching them as in cases of lazy eye, or amblyopia. In some cases, the muscle of the eye or eyes is cut or moved in order to adjust the position of the eyes or realign them for a better eye movement and vision.
In conclusion, strabismus correction or methods or treatmentprovide the patient with a greater recognition of surrounding objects or views and beautify the eyes.
