Strabismus
Strabismus is a condition commonly known as lazy eye. CODET Vision Institute provides surgical and non-surgical treatment of Strabismus for children and adults to restore…
Procedure
Strabismus treatments and surgery are recommended to improve the alignment of the eyes so they can work better together for improved binocular vision.
When treating strabismus, doctors may first prescribe eyeglasses to correct for any refractive error that may exist. An eye patch may be used for children to strengthen a lazy eye. Strabismus treatment may also require vision exercises, the use of prism glasses, BOTOX injections for eye muscles, and eye muscle surgery. The goal of botulinum toxin injections and eye muscle surgery is to align the eyes so that any residual deviation is almost unnoticeable. This procedure should improve visual function along with the cosmetic appearance of the eyes.
Details such as type of anesthesia, length of procedure, and even type of stitch used in surgery are variable based on the specific nature of each patient’s unique eyes, the nature of their strabismus, and age.
CODET is one of the few centers that offers botulinum toxin for strabismus treatment in Mexico.
At CODET, we believe that all patients and all eyes are unique. That is why all of our Strabismus treatments start with a thorough education and selection process. We take this step very seriously.
We begin by listening to you, discussing your experiences to date, and your hopes for the treatment. Then, we evaluate your condition using the best diagnostic equipment operated by highly trained technicians and surgeons. Once diagnostics have been completed, we explain each of your options to you, including alternatives and our recommended treatment plan. Only then will you and your doctor reach a treatment decision together. We will only ever recommend surgery if we determine your condition needs it and cannot be treated in any other way.
