What does adjustable-suture strabismus surgery involve?

This procedure corrects eye misalignment by detaching and reattaching one or more eye muscles (recession or resection) using temporary, adjustable sutures. The key difference from traditional strabismus surgery is that the sutures can be fine-tuned while you are awake several hours after the initial operation, allowing the surgeon to achieve optimal alignment. The adjustment is painless and takes only a few minutes.
