Surgery for strabismus and myopia cannot be performed at the same time.
Strabismus involves surgery to adjust the eye muscles. There are two surgical methods for myopia: one is corneal laser ablation surgery, and the other is ACL surgery. Myopia surgery mainly requires stable vision, the patient must be over 18 years old, have a strong desire to stop wearing glasses, and have a clear diagnosis from examinations, then surgery can be considered. Strabismus must be classified; early stage paralytic strabismus is generally not advised for surgery. Concomitant strabismus may be treated surgically. If there is also refractive error, dilated refraction and prescription glasses should also be considered.
