Why is this the most difficult option?
With a combined deviation, it is necessary to simultaneously correct both the horizontal and vertical components without creating a new imbalance. The surgeon works with several muscles in one operation, precisely dosing each action. Such strabismus is more often paralytic - associated with damage to the oculomotor nerves after injury, stroke or inflammation, therefore, before surgery, a consultation with a neurologist and an observation period are required: some paralytic forms recover on their own within 6-12 months.
Modern eye microsurgery
Most eye surgeries today are performed on an outpatient basis, under local anesthesia and through micro-incisions that do not require stitches. The patient goes home the same day, and vision begins to recover within the first day.
Preparation plays a key role: accurate calculation of the parameters of the artificial lens, exclusion of foci of infection and control of concomitant diseases. The final result depends on this no less than on the operation itself.
Key interventions
- phacoemulsification of cataract with intraocular lens implantation
- surgical correction of strabismus
- removal of chalazion and eyelid formations
After surgery
The recovery period requires discipline: drops are instilled strictly according to the scheme with a gradual decrease in frequency; you should not rub your eye, bend over or lift heavy objects for the first two weeks. Non-compliance is the main cause of complications, not the operation itself.
