Strabismus (Crossed Eyes) Correction
Strabismus is a misalignment of the eyes, where they do not point in the same direction. Treatment may include glasses, prisms, vision therapy or eye-muscle surgery, in children and adults. The chosen approach depends on the type of strabismus, age and how it affects vision and daily life.
Strabismus (Crossed Eyes) Correction explained
Strabismus care realigns the eyes to improve appearance, vision and, in children, visual development.
What is it?
Strabismus, sometimes called crossed or squinting eyes, is when the eyes do not align on the same point. It can affect children and adults and may cause double vision, eye strain or reduced depth perception. Treatments include glasses or prisms, vision therapy and eye-muscle surgery.
Is it right for me?
Children benefit from early assessment to protect visual development and prevent amblyopia. Adults with new or long-standing strabismus can also be treated, either to relieve symptoms or to correct alignment.
How it's done, step by step

Eye-muscle surgery when needed to realign the eyes.
- 5
Follow-up examinations to check alignment and vision.
What you'll experience
Surgery is usually a short, outpatient procedure. Adults have topical or brief general anaesthesia; children have general anaesthesia with dedicated paediatric care. Your consultant supports the whole family in your language.
Recovery & results timeline
Most patients return home the same day, with mild redness for one to two weeks. Vision usually settles gradually, and follow-up visits check that the alignment holds and that vision continues to develop well, especially in children.
