Can you correct strabismus in adult with amblyopia?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, but...: Adult strabismus can be surgically corrected, but may recur over time and may need to be re-treated. Glasses with prism can help and prevent the need for surgery.

Yes: It is certainly possible and your surgeon should be able to give you your chance of success. You need a pediatric ophthalmologist.
