Pediatric squint surgery, also called strabismus surgery, is a procedure that adjusts the small muscles on the outside of the eyeball so that both eyes align and move together correctly. It is not surgery on the eye itself — the cornea, lens, and retina are not touched. The operation is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 30 to 90 minutes, depending on how many muscles need to be adjusted. Techniques include recession (weakening an overactive muscle), resection or plication (strengthening a weak muscle), and in complex cases, transposition of neighbouring muscles. Most children are discharged the same day and return to school within a week, with the final eye position settling over six to twelve weeks. Surgery is usually part of a broader care plan that may include glasses, patching for amblyopia, and regular follow-up as the child grows.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $500
