@ophthalmocoach: 👁️ Strabismus surgery — bringing the eyes back in balance Strabismus happens when the eye muscles pull unevenly, leading to misalignment of the gaze. Surgery aims to restore proper balance between the extraocular muscles. 🔹 Recession – the muscle is detached and reattached further back on the eye, which weakens its pulling force. 🔹 Resection – a segment of the muscle is removed, then it’s reattached, which strengthens its pull. By combining these precise techniques, surgeons can realign the eyes with millimeter accuracy, improving both function and appearance. ✨ Although delicate, these procedures are highly effective and often life-changing for patients. #eye #optometrist #ophthalmology #medicine #doctor
