A member asked:

After strabismus surgery, my eye turned out a bit (before it was in)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Over-corrected: In some cases, the eyes are over-corrected in the beginning because they will settle back some as they heal. Speak with your surgeon and be patient with the healing process.
