Multiple strabismus surgeries have turned esotropia to exotropia. what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cosmetic goal: Correction of the misalignment will not usually change the vision, so that drifting is still possible as vision in both eyes maintains alignment. Surgery gets the eyes close together but will not hold time in position if the vision is not good in each eye so drifting is possible. The goal then is limit the drift to a cosmetically acceptable level and hope it holds for a while.
