After strabismus surgery, why is it positive to look at something closer?

Strabismus surgery is a treatment for strabismus. Before undergoing strabismus surgery, patients often need to go through a series of eye exams and evaluations to determine the most suitable treatment for them.

The main purpose of strabismus surgery is to correct the position abnormality of the eyeball, so that both eyes can focus on the same object at the same time. This surgery can achieve this by adjusting the strength of the extraocular muscles.

After surgery, the patient's visual system gradually adjusts to the new position as the surgery changes the position of the eyeball, and the eye's ability to focus is also changed.In the early stages after strabismus surgery, patients may find that their gaze is more focused when they look at something close because the position of the eyeball has changed by this time.

Over time, both the eye's ability to focus and the adaptability of the visual system improve. Eventually, patients will be able to see things up close better and will no longer experience the discomfort or fatigue associated with strabismus.

Every patient responds differently to strabismus surgery, and some may take longer to fully adjust to the new eye position. The recovery period after surgery also requires proper rest and rehabilitation training according to the doctor's advice.

Strabismus surgery can effectively correct the abnormal position of the eyeball and help the patient restore normal eye focus function. Although in the early days after surgery, patients may find it unnatural to look at things up close, this will gradually disappear as the body adjusts and recovers.
