Strabismus Surgery

Strabismus surgery is used to realign the muscles that control eye movements. The need for surgery depends on which way the eye is turning, the severity of the turned or crossed eye, and whether or not improvements can be made through glasses or vision therapy. This same day, outpatient surgery is performed most often on children and involves minimal discomfort to the patient. A general anesthetic is used for the surgery. Patients must wear a patch over the eye for the first 24 hours following surgery and take antibiotic eye drops throughout the recovery period. Light activity is prescribed for the first few days after surgery and patients are warned not to get water in the eye by showering, swimming, etc. Full recovery takes place in 1-2 weeks. Once recovery is complete, the patient may still require vision therapy or glasses to maintain proper eye alignment. Strabismus surgery has a high success rate, but in some cases, patients may require a second surgery at some point in the future.

What Our Clients Say About Us

  • "I have been to Visio Eyecare for the past three years and I am very satisfied with this place. Number one perk, they are open on Sunday and getting an appointment is extremely easy! The eye doctor is very nice and helpful; she really listen to what you want and if you say you do not want to spend a dime over what is necessary, she listens and advises you on glasses under your budget; my glasses have always been ready quickly; I will recommend this place to anyone!"

  • "I had a wonderful experience today. Called and they had me come in immediately for an appointment. Everyone was extremely nice and Dr Au helped me choose my new glasses.
    I will be going back yearly."
    Michael B.
  • "Dr. Au is GREAT! I can't say anything better about her. She makes you comfortable, explains your insurance claims and gets you the best deals within your budget."
    Lauren B.
  • "I never thought I would feel compelled to write a yelp review for an eye doctor but Dr. Au and her receptionist are so awesome that I must! I just moved to the area and had run out of contacts so I just googled the closest eye dr. She has given me multiple lens samples so I can find what best works for me before ordering. I feel so cared for in her office and am so happy I found her."
    Meredith K.

    Paul K.
  • "I've worn glasses for about 15 years and this is the most personable interaction I've ever had at an eye center. Dr. Au and the receptionist were sooo sweet and considerate. I came here unintentionally as I was desperate for an appointment and they had an opening the same day. I'm so glad I found this place! Not to mention I was in and out in 30 minutes and they have great COVID precautions!"
    Jaicha V.
  • "Dr. Au and her receptionist are the nicest! They make everything super fast and easy and explain everything very clearly. She referred me to Wills Eye Hospital for additional testing and they were very impressed that she had picked up on a rare issue that I have with my eyes. I highly recommend Dr. Au!"
