Strabismus: Surgery to correct strabismus is performed to strengthen or weaken the effect of one or more of the muscles that move the eye. The procedure is done by an ophthalmologist and, ideally, during childhood. When this procedure is performed on adults, it can usually be done under local anesthesia. (the eye is numb, but the patient is awake.).
