Question
A 9-year-old boy is experiencing poor mental health recently, and he doesn’t know what’s wrong. He wants to know: How long does it take for the pediatric strabismus surgery process?
Answer
The duration of strabismus surgery depends on the specific circumstances. If the surgery only requires the treatment of one muscle, the operation usually takes about ten minutes. However, if the patient has non-comitant strabismus, muscle scarring and contraction, or recurrence of deformation, the surgery becomes more complex. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. It is recommended that patients go to a regular three-level A-grade hospital for a systematic and standardized examination as soon as possible to receive symptomatic treatment and recover.
