A member asked:
Please explain if it is true that the chances of strabismus surgery succeeding is much lower if u have very bad vision in 1 eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is true: The surgery generally works well whether or not there is poor vision in one eye. However in people who lack good vision in one eye, the strabismus is more likely to recur.
