Strabismus surgery
Strabismus surgery (extraocular muscle surgery or eye muscle surgery) is surgery on the extraocular muscles to correct the misalignment of the eyes.It includes loosening(weakening) or tightens(strengthening) eye muscles, which changes the alignment of the eyes relative to each other. So how it's done?A recession weakens function by altering the attachment site on the eyeball. A suture is placed through the muscle at the attachment site to the eye. The muscle is cut from the surface of the eye and reattached further back from the front of the eye. A resection strengthens function by reattaching a muscle to the eyeball at the original insertion site after a portion is removed. A suture is placed through the muscle at the intended new attachment site. The segment of muscle between the suture and the eyeball is removed and the shortened muscle is reattached to the eye.
