Ask on WhatsAppSome retinal detachment repair procedures leave a lasting effect on eye-muscle movement, since the scleral buckle used to reattach the retina sits close to the muscles that move the eye. Treating this type of strabismus requires precise surgery that distinguishes between the retinal buckle and the restricted eye muscle — a highly specialized procedure requiring real experience in complex strabismus surgery.
Your treatment includes
- Careful assessment of the buckle-to-muscle relationship
- Specialized surgery to correct the resulting strabismus
- Focused expertise in complex post-retinal-surgery cases
