Strabismus correction surgery in small children carries risks of overcorrection, undercorrection, and granulation tissue growth.
Strabismus is a common ophthalmologic condition in which the direction of vision in both eyes is not parallel, affecting both the patient’s appearance and the development of visual function in both eyes, so surgery is usually required to correct it.
Children who undergo strabismus surgery may be overcorrected, or overcorrected, or undercorrected, which usually requires reoperation.
It is possible for small children to develop granulation tissue growth at the incision site after strabismus correction surgery, resulting in the formation of pink bumps on the surface of the white eyeball, which usually need to be surgically removed.
In addition, the risks of strabismus surgery include anesthesia risks, eyeball wall damage, double vision, etc. Small children should be reviewed regularly after strabismus correction surgery, and any surgery-related complications need to be dealt with reasonably and as soon as possible under the guidance of the doctor.
