Hi all,

Posting on behalf of my mother – I was wondering if anyone could share experiences about their recovery process after strabismus surgery.

She just got out of surgery and her double-vision wasn’t fixed, though it’s better than it was before (the two images are not as widely separated.) The doctor said she had never seen eye muscles as tight as my mother’s.

Was just wondering what other people’s experiences have been like after getting strabismus surgery. Many thanks!

I will write more extensively tomorrow. I found this surgery so easy! It was wonderful for me. When I had this procedure, they woke me up, asked me if I saw one object or two. It was very successful.

It has been my best surgical experience. I am so sorry that your mom
still has double vision. It is possible that after the swelling resolves, maybe it will be better. Very possible. I do know, though, that sometimes it does not always work the first time, for whatever reason. I’d guess because the surgeon did not move the origin and insertion of the eye muscles as much as needed for mono vision. But there may have been other contributing factors. so that is the question i would ask. Why does she still have double vision?

I hope that it improves over the next week or so. do write again.
Shirley
