The surgery is most commonly done on children, but is also performed on adults with similar problems.
While the child is under general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free), a small incision is made in the tissue between the eye and eyelid (conjunctiva ). One or more of the muscles of the eye are strengthened (resected) or weakened (recessed) to allow proper position and help the eye to move correctly. After a few hours of recovery, the child may go home.
The surgery for adults is similar. Adults are usually awake or sleepy, but pain-free. Often, in adult surgery, an adjustable suture will be used so that minor adjustments can be made later that day or the next day. This technique usually gives a very good result.
