Squint Correction Surgery - gone wrong, any advice?

[hanpinkers]

Hi All,

My 15 month old son had squint correction surgery on Wednesday of this week to correct a slight squint in his right eye - although the swelling and redness is now dying down the eye appears to have been over corrected with his right eye now 100 facing too far outwards.

I have arranged an appointment with the specialist on Tuesday however was wondering if anyone has had experience of this - is it easily fixable, would you expect it to be over corrected until the eye settles?

Any experiences would be really helpful - many thanks.

They are often over corrected at first, and sometimes they deliberatly over correct knowing that the eye tends to relax back after a bit.

As CMOT says. They will over correct and wait for the eye to 'settle' into it's natural place. I had squint surgery a few years ago and this happened. Think it settled within a few weeks. DS is going for surgery in the next 3 months.
