Strabismus Eye Surgery
Strabismus Surgery - How long post op does it take for the eye to settle in it's new position?

Im nearly 3 weeks post op, and although I've noticed a small improvement since my surgery, Im still not happy with my eye position (over corrected)

How long is it before the eye settles down and the muscles stay in their new position? My eye is still sore.

Will it edge a bit more out? I had esotropia,.

It is still too early to tell your final eye position. When eye muscle surgery is performed the muscles enter a state of shock, and are not pulling with their full force. Also at the time of surgery the muscles are held onto the eye with sutures, with time they will scar into place.

The earliest time one would consider repeat surgery would be able 2-3 months. So be patient and give it some more time.

Also if you had glasses before surgery, make sure you are continuing to wear them.
