A member asked:
When is exotropia needed for surgery? my eye deviations are very prominent already and i'm still at my teen years.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When you decide: Exotropic eyes are pointed outwards away from each other. If the position is large enough, it might affect your appearance. The time to straighten the eyes is when you do not want to live with it. There is no strictly medical time.
