【"Eye" World】Can people with strabismus undergo myopia correction surgery?

01 What is strabismus?

Strabismus occurs when the eyes cannot focus on the same target simultaneously, showing visible misalignment. It may involve abnormal binocular vision or problems with eye movement control.

02 How to treat strabismus?

Strabismus types include:

By fusion: latent, intermittent, manifest

By gaze: concomitant, incomitant

By fixing eye: alternating, monocular

By direction: inward, outward, vertical deviations

Professional evaluation determines treatment. Some cases improve with therapy or glasses without surgery.

03 Can I get LASIK after strabismus surgery?

These are separate procedures:

Strabismus surgery corrects eye alignment

LASIK fixes refractive errors

Complete strabismus treatment first, then consider LASIK after vision stabilizes.

04 Post-surgery care

Practice good eye hygiene

Maintain healthy vision habits

Get sufficient rest

Eat nutritiously

Attend all follow-ups
