crossed eyes is also called strabismus
The treatment goal for strabismus is to preserve vision, to straighten the eyes, and to restore 3-dimensional vision. If amblyopia is detected in the first few years of life, treatment is often successful. If treatment is delayed until later, amblyopia or reduced vision generally becomes permanent. Occlusive patching of the better seeing eye can force use of the amblyopic eye and improve vision. Depending on the cause of the strabismus, treatment may involve repositioning the unbalanced eye muscles, removing a cataract, or correcting other conditions that are causing the eyes to turn. After a complete eye examination, including a detailed study of the inner parts of the eye, an ophthalmologist can recommend appropriate optical, medical or surgical treatment.
Early surgery is often recommended to correct strabismus in younger infants, who can then develop normal acuity and binocular (stereo) vision once the eyes are straightened. As a child gets older, the chance of developing normal sight and depth perception decreases. Crossed eyes can also have a negative effect on a child's social interaction and self-confidence.
Strabismus surgery involves making a small incision in the tissue covering the eye, which allows the ophthalmologist to access the underlying eye muscles. The eyeball is never removed from the socket during this kind of eye surgery. Which eye muscles are repositioned during the surgery depends upon the type of strabismus. It may be necessary to perform eye muscle surgery on one or both eyes. When strabismus surgery is performed on children, a general anesthetic is required; a local anesthetic is often an option for adults.
Eye muscle surgery is generally performed as an outpatient procedure in a hospital or a surgery center. Recovery time is rapid and the patient is usually able to resume normal activities within a few days. Following surgery, glasses or prisms may sometimes be needed. Over-or-under correction can occur and further "touch-up" surgery may be needed. As with any surgery, eye muscle surgery has certain risks which include infection, bleeding, excessive scarring, and other complications that very rarely may lead to loss of vision.
