Q: Can’t adult strabismus be treated at a certain age? A; No. In the past years of practice, it has been found that most patients have the opportunity to receive appropriate treatment. Q: Is it certain that diplopia will occur after correction of ocular strabismus? A: Because the strabismus is long, diplopia will occur after the eye position is corrected, but this is only transient and will last for a few weeks until the brain adapts to the new eye position state. Qiao Tong, Ophthalmology Department, Shanghai Children’s Hospital Q: Is strabismus always considered to be a strictly cosmetic surgery? A: This is incorrect. Many adults with corrected vision also have their higher functions of the eye partially restored and receive social and economic benefits. Q: Are there risks associated with eye surgery at my age? A: There is a risk of endophthalmitis and retinal detachment if the eye is punctured, but the risk of endophthalmitis is 0.3% to 2.8%, and the risk of endophthalmitis is less than 1:3500, and retinal detachment is even rarer. We now perform strabismus surgery under a microscope, which reduces the risk of surgery even more. Q: What is the success rate of eye muscle surgery? A: Most patients can correct their eye position with a single surgery; a small number of patients may have only partial correction; for patients with constantly changing eye position, a second surgery may be required. Q: How painful is this surgery? A: Everyone feels pain differently. Most eye muscle surgery is felt as a foreign body sensation in the eye, which may last for a few days and usually does not require the use of analgesic medication. Most patients can go back to their previous life and work after a few days. Of course, we still recommend not swimming or doing heavy physical work for 1 or 2 weeks. Q: Am I too old for strabismus correction? A: Strabismus correction can be done at any age and is something you need to consider if you want to improve your quality of life. Q: I am embarrassed about my strabismus, I always avoid looking at people, they always seem to focus on the eye I drift away from, which causes me certain barriers in interpersonal communication, do I live in reality or am I paranoid? A: Many recent studies have confirmed that strabismus can lead to social interaction disorders, lack of confidence and hindrance in finding good jobs. That’s why we believe that anyone has the right to have an orthophoric eye. Q: Do I need to be hospitalized for strabismus surgery? Does it affect my normal life? A: Adult strabismus surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis, but we need to consider the general condition and the length of the trip home to determine if hospitalization is necessary.
