Strabismus surgery is a very routine procedure in ophthalmology, and whether the anesthesia is general or local depends mainly on the age of the patient. If the strabismus surgery is performed on an adult, it is usually performed under local anesthesia. Because there is no significant intraoperative pain and because adults cooperate well, local anesthesia surgery is completely operable. Local anesthesia has the added benefit of allowing observation of eye position changes during surgery. If the eye position is relatively well adjusted, the surgery can be concluded. However, in the case of children, who are too young to cooperate with local anesthesia surgery, the procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. Whether it is general anesthesia or local anesthesia, the surgery takes the same amount of time, and the overall time of the surgery takes about half an hour. So if there is strabismus in the eye, you can go to the hospital to have the surgery corrected.
