A member asked:
I had strabismus eye surgery and today is the fourth day post surgery. how many days does it take for the stitches to melt? or do they get removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depends on the surgeon, and what type of sutures they used. Most likely they used disolvable and they will be gone in 4-6 weeks.
