Advances in strabismus surgery now provide benefits to most adults as well as children. Treating adults with strabismus can help improve depth perception (3D vision) and enlarge the field of vision. Most patients report improved self-esteem, communication skills, job opportunities, reading, and driving after squint surgery. Alternatives to strabismus surgery are available for some patients, such as prism glasses, botulinum toxin injections, or special contact lenses. Your consultant will discuss all options at the time of listing for surgery. Do not hesitate to ask for further clarification if needed.
